The Repto Insect Buffet streamlines terrarium feeding, especially for chameleons. Insects remain centralized in one spot rather than dispersing throughout the terrarium – delivering a clean, organized feeding experience.
Key benefits
More control over feeding: Insects stay in one place
Less stress in the terrarium caused by insects crawling around
Easier observation: your pet finds its prey more quickly
Supports a clean feeding routine and better visibility
Zoo Roco tip: Position the insect buffet so that your chameleon has a good ‘perch’ with a clear view of it. This will help it find the insects more quickly. After feeding, remove any leftover insects regularly to keep the amount of food under control.

Desert locust (Schistozerca gregaria)

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.

Fruit flies - Drosophila melanogaster
Fruit flies are the smallest flies that are commercially grown as food animals.However, these flies were originally bred for genetic research because the reproduction duration of the fly is very short. 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.

Zophobas are not suitable as a staple food, but should only be fed as a variety. The nutrient content of zophobas is higher than that of mealworms.

Giant mealworms - Tenebrio molitorThe mealworm (Tenebrio molitor) - mealworms are classic food for soft-feeding birds.
For birds
also available in small quantities for reptiles
Giant mealworms are mealworms in which a special breeding method causes the larvae to pupate much later. As a result, the larvae become much larger and almost reach the size of Zophobas. Nutritional values, storage and all other parameters correspond to those of normal mealworms.We obtain the giant mealworms from a breeder of fishing bait. Substances that may affect the pupation of the animals may have been used in the breeding of the worms.The mealworm is actually the larva of the mealworm beetle. It hatches from an egg and grows to a size of approx. 25 mm after moulting several times. Finally, the beetle larva pupates, from which another beetle emerges. Mealworms are among the oldest commercially bred food animals. They are relatively easy to breed and are produced in large numbers. Mealworms are actually pests that are mainly known from grain mills, as the larvae prefer to feed on flour or its waste products. As it is not possible to use insecticides in mills, it is difficult to deal with an infestation.Mealworms are classic food for soft-feeding birds. Hundreds of tonnes of the beetle larvae are produced for this purpose throughout 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 has few nutrients due to its rather simple diet. However, a reptile's stomach is poorly prepared for these conditions. If too many or only mealworms are fed to reptiles, deficiency symptoms or obesity can occur. It can also be recognised from the animals' faecal residues that mealworms are not digested properly. Feeding mealworms with vegetables or fruit before feeding them only has the effect of a certain vitaminisation, which could also be achieved by pollinating the beetle larvae with a vitamin preparation. The high fat content of mealworms is another reason why the larvae should only be given to reptiles as supplementary food.For many bird lovers, however, they are the staple food of their favourites and are mainly bred for this purpose. At temperatures below 10 degrees C. the animals become motionless but are not dead. This can be utilised 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 ThursdayOrders received by Sunday evening will be dispatched by A Mail on Wednesday or Thursday.Please enter a recipient address where the parcel can be delivered.We accept no responsibility for parcels that are delivered late or collected late.The live food animals in the shop are only available at this price on Wednesdays - the prices per tin are otherwise CHF 1.00 per tin higher, as we also feed and care for the food animals.

Habistat Leopard Gecko Substrate 10 kgHabistat Leopard Gecko Substrate is a natural-looking substrate mix specially developed to meet the needs of leopard geckos. The combination of sand, loam and gravel is modelled on the natural habitat of these popular desert and steppe dwellers.
The substrate provides a varied, non-slip surface and supports the animals’ natural behaviour of running, digging and exploring.Thanks to its natural texture and colouring, it is ideal for creating an authentic leopard gecko terrarium.Advantages of the Habistat Leopard Gecko SubstrateSpecially developed for leopard geckos
Mixture of sand, clay and gravelModelled on the natural habitatSupports natural digging and exploratory behaviourProvides a non-slip and varied substrateIdeal for dry desert and steppe terrariumsEnsures a natural-looking terrarium designContents: 10 kgUsageSpread the substrate evenly across the terrarium floor. For burrowing animals, ensure the layer is deep enough. Faeces, food scraps and soiled areas must be removed regularly. Replace the substrate completely depending on the level of soiling.Zoo Roco Tip:Place heavy rocks, caves and other décor items securely directly on the terrarium floor. This prevents them from being undermined whilst the animal is digging. Where possible, offer food in a feeding bowl or on a solid surface.
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.
