Inquiring minds want to know: if you order two rainbow stag beetles and they arrive as larvae that you have to take care of (they live in a deli container, and you change the soil every 10 weeks) so they become the beetles - are they counted as "pets"?

@mikeymikey@hachyderm.io it depends on the purpose? given the information in evidence so far, both “pets”, “specimens”, or “livestock” might all be valid
