Product information "Drosophila mite separator"

Drosophila Mite Separator


The Drosophila mite separator is a practical aid for the hygienic preparation of feeder insects. It reliably separates mites from Drosophila (food flies) before they are fed to reptiles, amphibians or other insectivores. This reduces the risk of mite transmission and supports clean feeding.

Product features - at a glance

- Effectively separates mites from Drosophila
- Facilitates the hygienic preparation of feeding flies
- Reduces the risk of mite transmission
- Quick and easy to use
- Suitable for daily feeding
- Ideal for terrariums and breeding
- Reusable and easy to clean


The Drosophila mite separator was specially developed to separate mites from the Drosophila before feeding. Especially in terrariums and insect breeding, mites can multiply quickly and be unintentionally transferred to terrariums. (Food mites do not go to terrarium animals such as reptiles and amphibians)

By using the mite separator, the food flies can be hygienically prepared before feeding. The Drosophila are separated, while mites remain in the container or are separated out. This contributes to cleaner feeding and the well-being of the animals.

The mite separator is easy to use, quickly ready for use and is suitable for both hobby keepers and professional breeders.

Zoo Roco tip

Use the mite separator regularly, especially with freshly purchased or home-bred Drosophila. Clean the tool after use to prevent mites from accumulating again.

To the animals to better affairs, copies were bred with crippled wings. This flies have lost their ability to fly. Gladly will Drosophila to amphibians, reptiles and small offspring of young spiders, but also fed on small ornamental birds. Even with the greatest care, it can happen that food animals die as a result of temperature fluctuations or incalculable events. We assume no liability for this.

Show Box
Repto Show Box: Transport safely and present with minimal stressThe Repto Show Box is ideal for temporary housing during transport or for displaying reptiles, amphibians and insects. Five dark sides give the animals a greater sense of security and reduce stress, while the transparent lid enables quick checks.Product benefits:Reduces stress during relocation, transport or at exhibitions/fairsA sense of security thanks to darkened sides – animals remain calmerQuick checks without unnecessary opening thanks to the transparent lidUser-friendly design: the lid is easy to openFor a tidy reptile room: multiple boxes can be securely stackedTechnical dataDimensions: 35 × 24 × 11 cmLid: split (1/3 + 2/3), easy to openDesign: 5 black sides, transparent lidUse: Transport / Presentation / Short-term accommodationWhen animals are being moved, temporarily housed or displayed, one thing matters above all else: as little stress as possible. This is exactly what the Repto Show Box is designed for. It is ideal for transporting and displaying reptiles, amphibians or insects – for example, during inspections, routine handling or at terrarium fairs where safe and clearly organised accommodation is required.A key feature is the five dark sides. They reduce visual stimuli, create a sheltered environment, and make many animals feel significantly safer than in fully transparent boxes. This can help animals to remain calmer and be easier to handle. At the same time, the dark background provides a clear contrast, making observation and presentation more pleasant – without permanently ‘putting the animals on display’.The transparent lid provides a practical alternative: you can quickly check the contents without having to open the box every time. This is particularly helpful when you’re on the move or want to keep an eye on several boxes. The lid is easy to open and is divided into 1/3 and 2/3 sections. This allows you to open just one section if needed – handy for a quick check without causing unnecessary disturbance.The box also scores highly in terms of organisation: it is designed for easy stacking. This allows you to house several animals or different species in a clear and orderly manner and store them in a space-saving way – ideal for breeders, foster homes or terrarium enthusiasts with multiple projects. Important: The ‘ Repto ’ Show Box is intended for temporary housing. For long-term care, you should always use a species-appropriate terrarium with suitable climate control and interior fittings.Zoo Roco tip: To minimise stress, place a piece of kitchen roll or a non-slip mat inside (depending on the species) – this provides grip and makes cleaning easier. During transport, keep the box in a calm, vibration-free environment and out of direct sunlight. For longer journeys: keep an eye on the temperature in the car and avoid draughts.

Desert locust (Schistozerca gregaria) subadult
Contents Food animals: approx. 10stk / Dose
Desert locust (Schistozerca gregaria) The desert locust (Schistozerca gregaria) is one of the largest commercially bred feeder animals. Females reach a total length with wings of over 75 mm in some cases. popular feeder animal for reptiles and amphibians larger than the migratory locust subadult The desert locust is one of the largest commercially bred feeder animals. Females reach a total length with wings of over 75 mm in some cases. Males usually remain somewhat smaller. Therefore, desert locusts are up to 30% larger than, for example, the migratory locust (Locusta migratoria). The animals are coloured pink-grey after their final moult. In the following 6-10 days, the colouring, especially of the males, changes to a strong yellow. However, the animals show their most attractive colouring and patterns during the juvenile and subadult stages. Here, the animals are also coloured lemon yellow with a black pattern. This very colouring stimulates the prey drive in many reptile species, which makes the desert locust particularly popular among many terrarium keepers.Unfortunately, the desert locust is not as productive as the migratory locust and rearing the animals takes up to 2/3 longer. On the other hand, it can be bred almost all year round, as it does not have any particularly high requirements for special food types.As a feeder insect, the desert locust is also excellent because it usually survives shipping unharmed, even in extreme heat and cold, and can survive up to 2 weeks after shipping without additional food.Desert locusts are generally readily accepted by all lizards. Experience has shown that they are particularly popular with large lizards such as bearded dragons, water dragons, basilisks, monitor lizards, frilled lizards etc. They are especially popular with many species of chameleon, as they are particularly attracted to the yellow colouring of the juvenile and subadult animals.
