released wax caterpillars (Galleria mellonella)
Contents Food animals: approx. 15g
Released waxworms (Galleria mellonella) For reptiles, amphibians, birds or as fishing bait The caterpillars are usually fed to reptiles, amphibians and birds. However, the waxworm is also becoming increasingly important as fishing bait. As a treat For reptiles, amphibians and birds also as fishing bait Waxworms were originally known to beekeepers as a pest in beehives. There the larvae of the moth feed on honey. In commercial breeding, the larvae are reared on a feed mash consisting mainly of wheat bran and honey. The caterpillars are usually fed to reptiles, amphibians and birds. However, the waxworm is also becoming increasingly important as fishing bait. The waxworms are offered in 2 different forms: As breeding stock or in released form. The breeding stock offers the advantage that younger waxworms can also be fed, which are significantly smaller than the adult animals. Due to the feed, the caterpillars must taste sweet, which makes the insects very popular with eaters. Waxworms in breeding stocks should, depending on how quickly the animals are to grow, be kept at around 20 to 30 degrees C. The released waxworms should be stored in the refrigerator at about 6-10 degrees C. In this state, the animals no longer take in food.We obtain these waxworms from a breeder for fishing bait. Substances may possibly have been used in the rearing of the worms that can affect the pupation of the animals.

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.

Mealworms (Tenebrio molitor) mini

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

Mealworms (Tenebrio molitor)
Contents Food animals: approx. 50g tin
Mealworms - Tenebrio molitor The mealworm (Tenebrio molitor) is one of the oldest commercially bred feeder animals. They are relatively easy to breed. 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 grows to a size of approx. 25 mm after moulting several times. Eventually the beetle larva pupates, from which a beetle emerges again. 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 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. 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 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.
