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.

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.

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.

They are relatively easy to breed and are produced in large quantities. Mealworms are actually pests which 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, an infestation is difficult to control. Mealworms are a classic food for soft-feeding birds. Hundreds of tons of these beetle larvae are produced throughout Europe every year for this purpose. A bird's stomach is well adapted to this type of food. A mealworm consists largely of a hard, chitinous shell and, due to its fairly simple diet, contains few nutrients. The stomach of a reptile, on the other hand, is not well adapted to these conditions. If too many or only mealworms are fed to reptiles, deficiency symptoms or obesity can occur. You can also see from the animals' faeces that mealworms are only poorly digested. Feeding mealworms with vegetables or fruit before feeding only has the effect of a certain vitaminization, which could also be achieved by dusting 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 represent the staple food of their favourites and this is mainly what they are bred for.

Buffalo worms / cereal mould beetle larvae (Alphitobius diaperinus) Cereal mould beetle larvae, also buffalo worms called, are another type of beetle larvae that are fed both to terrarium animals and to soft-eating birds. for smaller reptiles and birds 1-1.2cm Cereal mould beetle larvae, also called buffalo worms, are another type of beetle larvae that are fed both to terrarium animals and to soft-eating birds. 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.

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.

Fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster) large Drosophila, also known as fruit flies, are the smallest flies that are commercially bred as food animals. flightless for amphibians, small reptiles and young spiders also for small ornamental birds Fruit flies are the smallest flies that are commercially bred as food animals.However, these flies were originally bred for genetic research, as the reproduction duration of the flies is very short. In order to handle the animals more easily, specimens with crippled wings were bred out. As a result, the flies have lost their ability to fly. Drosophilas are often fed to amphibians, small offspring of reptiles and young spiders, but also to small ornamental birds.

Desert locust (Schistozerca gregaria)The desert locust (Schistozerca gregaria) is one of the largest commercially bred food animals. Females reach a total length with wings of over 75 mm in some cases. popular food animal for reptiles and amphibians larger than the migratory locust medium The desert locust is one of the largest commercially bred food animals. Females reach a total length with wings of over 75 mm in some cases. Males usually remain somewhat smaller. This means that desert locusts are up to 30% larger than, for example, the migratory locust (Locusta migratoria). The animals are pink-grey in colour after moulting. Over the next 6-10 days, the colouring changes to a strong yellow, especially in the males. However, the animals have the most beautiful colouring and patterning during the juvenile and subadult stage. Here, the animals are also coloured lemon yellow with a black pattern. It is precisely this colouring that arouses the prey drive in many reptile species, which makes the desert locust particularly popular with 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 is not too demanding on special types of food.The desert locust is an excellent food insect because it can usually survive shipping without damage, even in extreme heat and cold, and can survive for up to 2 weeks after shipping without the addition of food.Desert locusts are generally accepted by all lizards. Experience has shown that they are particularly favoured by large lizards such as bearded dragons, water dragons, basilisks, varans, ruffed lizards etc.. They are particularly popular with many species of chameleon, as they are particularly attracted to the yellow colouring of juvenile and sub-adult animals.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 to which 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.

Pea aphids (can, breeding batch, 1 litre)Pea aphids are an excellent food for reptiles and amphibians that prefer very small food and are therefore a nice alternative to Drosophila or springtails. for reptiles and amphibians Alternative to Drosophila or springtails 1 litre tin Pea aphids are an excellent food for reptiles and amphibians that prefer very small food and are therefore a nice alternative to Drosophila or springtails. The aphids are cultivated on pea plants and feed on the sweet sap of the plants. However, the aphids do not spread to other plants and therefore cannot cause any damage. The pea plants should always have enough water. However, excessive humidity in the cans should also be avoided. Otherwise the aphids can stick to the walls of the can and die all too quickly. Therefore, remove the lid after receiving the can and place the cans in a bright, warm place, preferably in a south-facing window. Do not forget to water the pea plants regularly.
