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.

medium
The steppe cricket is one of the most frequently fed food insects. Their calm nature and quite impressive size make them a favourite meal for almost every insect-eating reptile and many soft-bodied birds, and they come from the subtropical climate zones of South America. The females can reach a total length of up to 35 mm, the males are slightly smaller. The chocolate-brown colouring of the adult animals clearly distinguishes them from Mediterranean crickets, which are deep black. Terrarium keepers will notice the relatively quiet calling of the males and their low jumping power.In contrast to the Mediterranean cricket, the steppe cricket is not as productive. They also take a little longer to breed than the Mediterranean cricket.The animals can be dispatched all year round. In summer, care must be taken to ensure that the animals are not exposed to excessive heat, as the crickets generate considerable heat of their own when they are very active. If this is not is sufficiently removed, this can cause damage. On the other hand, this circumstance is helpful in winter as the intrinsic heat generated in conjunction with winter packaging allows them to withstand lower temperatures during shipping.As the crickets are available in different sizes, they are not only suitable for large lizards. In fact, many keepers of medium-sized lizards such as leopard geckos, collared iguanas, half-grown bearded dragons and the like have recognised the great advantage of these crickets. Medium-sized animals of this species are similar in size to adult crickets or short-winged crickets, for example. However, as they are not yet adults, they do not yet have wings. This eliminates the often annoying chirping of the males.

This will help it find the insects more quickly. After feeding, remove any leftover insects regularly to keep the amount of food under control.
Drosophila mite separator
CHF 9.90
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.

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.

popular food animal
for reptiles and amphibians
larger than the migratory locust
small
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, especially in the males, to a strong yellow. 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.As a feeder insect, the desert locust is also particularly suitable because it usually survives shipping even in extreme heat and cold without damage and can also survive for up to 2 weeks after shipping without additional food.Desert locusts are generally accepted by all lizards. Experience has shown that they are particularly popular with large lizards such as bearded dragons, water dragons, basilisks, monitors, frilled lizards etc. They are particularly popular with many chameleon species, as these are particularly attracted to the yellow colouring of juvenile and subadult animals.

House flies are comparable to European house flies, but specimens with crippled wings have also been selectively bred, so that house flies also cannot fly properly but can generally only hop a few centimetres.However, this genetic defect is not dominant. This means that if the flies are mixed with flight-capable animals, the offspring are predominantly able to fly again.

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.

Repty®jungle - Special modelling compound
Repty®jungle is the special modelling compound for creating rainforest back walls and floor elements.
Repty®jungle is a mixture of fibre and bark substrates and a special compound that is mixed with water. This paste is then applied to the previously prepared surfaces using a spatula or your hands
applied. After hardening, Repty®jungle is still able to store water, so that the back wall can be planted with mosses or ferns, for example.
Application:For making back walls and caves, applied to materials such as wood, cork, polystyrene or similar.Mixing ratio:Approx. 2800 ml water : 2.5 kg powder Technical data at 20°C:Working time approx. 5 hours. Insertion time approx. 10 min. Cures after approx. 36 hours.Substrate preparation:Substrates can be dry or moist but must be firm, stable and free of release agents. It is recommended to first apply a thin layer of the mortar using a brush to the substrate as a kind of primer (Repty®flex-express) and allow this to dry for 12 hours at 20° C.Processing:After mixing, the mortar should be stirred again to improve smoothness before application to the substrate. Apply the mortar to the substrate and spread using a spatula or with gloved hands. Make sure that the layers are not thicker than approx. 10 mm, otherwise the mortar will have difficulty curing.Rinse the fully cured material thoroughly with clear water before use.Processing temperature: over +8° C.
