I just got 2 Asbolus Verrucosus and one is roaming around the enclosure (a 10 gallon with sand and leaves and stuff) but the other isn't really moving. It's a bit smaller than the more active beetle and has spent the last few hours moving maybe a few inches and then staying still for a while. We also noticed a protrusion from its backside that might just be a sex organ or it's pooping but getting stuck, but I'm worried it's an injury from shipping. What's normal for new beetles?

They might not move a lot and he would be dark in color but there should not be popping out of his back end
