I wanted to say a Congo line of DUNGBEETLES—but alas, the official collective noun is a “Roll” of DUNGBEETLES. That’s right: a Roll! 🌀 It refers to their signature move— rolling balls of dung, which they use for food & breeding. Nature’s little recyclers with a flair for drama. What a FUN FACT!
Anyway—this is the largest roll 🌀of DUNGBEETLES Twig & I have ever packaged up and had ready to roll. And it all started thanks to a brilliant post on the Facebook group “Horse Hacks & Budget Savers”.
Someone asked:
“Show me your poo pick-up ideas. My heart says buy a cute, amazing, horse-designed scooper. My head says there’s gotta be a good hack out there… but I want it to look nice and not like I’ve got a crappy two-dollar dustpan.”
Well, that post lit up the comments section like a bonfire on a frosty paddock night. People shared all kinds of clever, budget-friendly hacks for picking up horse p**p. But here’s the kicker—so many people stopped by with rave reviews of our beloved DUNGBEETLE that it became clear: sometimes, the hack just doesn’t cut it. Sometimes, you need the real deal.
Here’s a taste of the praise:
• Rebecca says “Buy DUNGBEETLE scoopers !! They are sensational”
• Nicole: “Dungbeetle will change your life.”
• Lissi: “DUNGBEETLE—absolute game changer AND Australian!”
• Cointreau: “I’m a recent convert. Love that the handle has its own little slot/holder. Got a bright green one!”
• Kate: “Just get a Dungbeetle. Once you have one, you’ll never go back… We have six.”
• Another Kate: “The Dungbeetle is all I’ll use. Never buying anything else again. They’re faultless.”
• Kylie: “Once you’ve used a DUNGBEETLE, there’s no going back.”
• Loren: “DUNGBEETLE scoops!!! AMAZING!!!”
• Rochelle: “Another vote for DUNGBEETLE. Mine’s purple!”
• Nicole Toll: “DUNGBEETLE—the only one I haven’t broken. It’s lasted years.”
• Sarah: “Just spend the money on a DUNGBEETLE. They’re awesome! Lightweight, UV resistant, bright colours… you can literally run over them and they survive. Don’t ask how I know.”
• Ashleigh: “Best I’ve ever had—and I’ve tried quite a few.”
• Tory: “All these comments reminded me I need to buy my third DUNGBEETLE. One in the tie-ups, one at the arena, and now I want a short-handled one for my float. Long live the DUNGBEETLE!”
• Kerry: “Sorry, but THE DUNGBEETLE wins over any hack, hands down. The BEST p**per scooper I’ve had in over forty years in the horse industry. LOVE IT.”
• Samantha: “It’s so good! I asked for the long-handled orange one for my birthday from my Nan. She was a bit confused why I wanted a poo scooper for my birthday. Next birthday—I need a second one for my float.”
• Tiff: “I have the long handle for paddock and stable pick-up, and now I’m buying the short handle for my float. BEST EVER.”
