Steppe cricket (Gryllus assimilis) small
Contents Food animals: approx. 70stk / Dose
Steppe crickets (Gryllus assimilis) The steppe cricket (Gryllus assimilis) is one of the most commonly fed feeder insects. the most frequently fed feeder animal larger feeder animal for reptiles and amphibians also for ornamental birds small The steppe cricket is one of the most commonly fed feeder insects. Their calm nature and impressive size make them a preferred meal for almost every insect-eating reptile and also for many soft-feeding birds. Steppe crickets originate from the subtropical climate zones of South America. Females can reach a total length of up to 35 mm, while the males are slightly smaller. The chocolate-brown colouring of the adult animals makes them clearly distinguishable from Mediterranean crickets, which are deep black. Steppe crickets are particularly noticeable to terrarium keepers due to the males' relatively quiet calling and low jumping ability.In contrast to the Mediterranean cricket, the steppe cricket is not as productive. Raising these animals also takes a little longer than with Mediterranean crickets.The animals can be shipped all year round. In summer, care must be taken to ensure that the animals are not exposed to excessive heat, as crickets generate considerable intrinsic heat when particularly active. If this is not sufficiently dissipated, it can cause damage. On the other hand, this is an advantage in winter, as the intrinsic heat in combination with winter packaging enables them to withstand lower temperatures during shipping.Since the crickets are offered in different sizes, they are not just suitable for large lizards. In fact, many owners of medium-sized lizards such as leopard geckos, collared iguanas, juvenile bearded dragons, etc., have recognised a significant benefit in steppe crickets. Medium-sized animals of this species are similar in size to, for example, adult house crickets or short-winged crickets. However, as they are not yet adult, they do not have wings. This means the often bothersome chirping of the males is eliminated. Order by Sunday evening – delivery on ThursdayOrders received by Sunday evening will be shipped on Wednesday or Thursday by A-Post.Please provide a delivery address at which the parcel can be delivered.We accept no responsibility for parcels delivered late or collected late.In cold conditions, many insects enter a state of torpor—but the animals usually recover after a few hours.

The result is a staple food that is suitable for everyday use, can support growth and vitality and is designed for clean feeding in the aquarium or aquaterrarium. It is also practical to use: simply dose as required and follow the recommendation to feed only as much as can be consumed in around 30 minutes once or twice a day.

Live food - Red mosquito larvae
Live food red mosquito larvae Shelf life 1–4 weeks Live food is the most natural way of feeding ornamental fish. No other food is as complete. With all essential vitamins, minerals and nutrients Stimulates the hunting instinct Promotes vitality Red mosquito larvae are very popular with ornamental fish lovers as a high-quality source of live food, as they provide a rich source of protein and important nutrients.These larvae come from the midge species Chironomus plumosus and are typically reddish-brown or orange in color. They are not only rich in protein, but also contain essential fats and minerals that help to promote the health of ornamental fish. Red mosquito larvae optimally supplement the fish's diet and promote their growth and resistance.When feeding, it is important to give the right amount to avoid overfeeding and potential water quality problems. Only give as much food as your fish can consume in a short period of time. Excessive feeding can lead to rotting in the aquarium and affect the water quality, which can lead to health problems in the fish. Instructions for feeding live food:It is important to wash live food before feeding to remove potential contaminants, bacteria and polluted water and to protect the health of ornamental fish. Here is a guide to washing live food:Place the live food in a strainer or colander and rinse thoroughly. This is best done with aquarium water or non-carbonated mineral water.Now pour the live food into a clean container and cover it with a little aquarium water. Leave the food to stand for 5-10 minutes.Now pour off the waterThe food can now be given to the fish.

Size of food animals: Large pack ( large animals)
The Argentine cockroach (Blaptica dubia) large  = tin with 10 pieces medium = tin with 13 pieces bulk pack = approx. 100 pieces Cockroaches are among the most resilient feeder insects. They are undemanding both in keeping and in shipping. As a rule, they can go without food for several days, even some weeks, and can also cope with colder and hotter temperatures during shipping.Cockroaches are gladly accepted by almost all reptiles. They are a good variation and alternative to crickets and grasshoppers. As the males do not call, there is no noise nuisance during keeping or in the terrarium if an animal is not eaten straight away. Due to the fairly considerable size, especially reached by the females, cockroaches are particularly popular with large lizards.The fear that escaped animals could reproduce in a flat is generally unfounded with this species. For breeding, a flat would have to have many damp spots and be strewn with rubbish, which is generally not the case. Escaped animals usually do not find enough food and ultimately die. You will then only find a piece of dried-up animal.

Mealworms (Tenebrio molitor) mini
Contents Food animals: approx. 50g tin
Mealworms mini (Tenebrio molitor) The mealworm (Tenebrio molitor) is actually the beetle larva of the meal beetle. It hatches from an egg and, after moulting several times, grows to a size of approx. 25 mm. For birds in small quantities also for reptiles The mealworm is actually the beetle larva of the meal beetle. It hatches from an egg and, after moulting several times, grows to a size of approx. 25 mm. Finally, the beetle larva pupates, from which another beetle emerges. Mealworms are among the oldest commercially bred feeder animals. They are relatively easy to breed and are produced in large quantities. Mealworms are actually pests, mainly known from grain mills, as the larvae prefer to feed on flour or its by-products. As it is not possible to use insecticides in mills, it is difficult to control them if infested. Mealworms are classic food for soft-feeding birds. For this purpose, hundreds of tonnes of the beetle larvae are produced in Europe every year. A bird's stomach is well prepared for this type of food. A mealworm consists mainly of a hard, chitinous shell and, due to its rather simple diet, contains only a few nutrients. However, the stomach of a reptile is not well prepared for these conditions. If too many or only mealworms are fed to reptiles, deficiency symptoms or obesity may occur. It can also be seen from the faecal residues of the animals that mealworms are only insufficiently digested. Feeding the mealworms with vegetables or fruit before feeding them only results in a certain vitaminisation, which could also be achieved by dusting the beetle larvae with a vitamin preparation. The high fat content of the mealworms is another reason why the larvae should only be given to reptiles as supplementary food. For many bird enthusiasts, however, they are the basic food for their pets and are mainly bred for this purpose. At temperatures below 10 degrees C. the animals become motionless but are not dead. This can be used to advantage for storage. At temperatures of 6-8 degrees C. the animals can be stored for several weeks without food.Order by Sunday evening - delivery on Thursday Orders received by Sunday evening will be sent by A-Post on Wednesday or Thursday.Please provide a recipient address where the parcel can be delivered.We accept no responsibility for parcels that are delivered late or collected late.

The buffalo worm only grows to about 10 to 12 mm long and is therefore mainly of interest for smaller animals. Cereal mould beetle larvae are also known as pests in Central Europe. However, they do not like cold temperatures and should also be stored at about 20 degrees C. As the animals are very active and therefore have a high metabolism, the worms should be fed regularly with flour and fruit during storage, otherwise the animals lose a lot of weight and also pupate quickly.
