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.

Zophobas as food animals / food insectsZophobas are very popular with larger lizards and make a great change to the reptile's daily routine. NO staple food a great change high nutrient content 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. Make sure that the Zophobas are not in the terrarium for long! A pupated Zophobas can harm a young, small or sick animal!   Feed the Zophobas a varied diet: peppers, lettuce, dandelion, apples, pears, melons, berries, courgettes, turnips and also fish food or wholemeal flakes are eaten. Remember that only a well-fed feeder animal will produce a high-quality meal.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 crickets in the shop are only available at this price on Wednesdays - the prices per tin are otherwise Fr. 1.00 per tin higher, as we also feed and care for the crickets.Even with the greatest care, it can happen that feed animals die due to temperature fluctuations or unpredictable events.

HabiStat forest floor leaf litterNatural litter for terrariums (5 L) HabiStat Forest Floor Leaf Litter provides a lifelike replica of the foliage layer of a real forest floor. The diverse mixture of high-quality, dried leaves creates an authentic habitat and promotes species-appropriate behavior in reptiles, amphibians and invertebrates. The natural structure conveys a sense of security, encourages searching, digging and hiding and at the same time enhances the appearance of any terrarium.Also suitable for rodents such as hamsters, gerbils and degus as adventure bedding.Keep the bedding dry and do not moisten. Advantages and properties Natural mixture of leaves for realistic imitation of forest floor Creates stable microclimates and regulates moisture levels Promotes a healthy substrate and supports bioactive processes Ideal for cleaning fauna such as isopods, millipedes and beetles - serves as cover and as a food source Perfect for tropical and temperate terrarium set-ups 100% natural, without additives - fully compostable Contents: 5 liters Use in the terrarium The foliage can be applied over a large area as a cover layer and thus supports humidity regulation. At the same time, it provides retreats and food for invertebrates, which enrich the soil with valuable nutrients and thus promote plant growth. Ideal for use in bioactive terrariums with auxiliary fauna and natural planting. Zoo Roco tip For a particularly stable microclimate, we recommend regularly loosening the HabiStat Leaf Litter slightly and combining it with other natural materials such as moss or pieces of bark. This creates an even more varied soil structure, which reptiles and invertebrates particularly like to use.
