The Dragon - real wood dragonThe Dragon! This natural wooden decoration for freshwater aquariums or terrariums is THE eye-catcher in your aquarium or terrarium. The handmade individual pieces reflect the shape of a dragon and are absolutely unique. Filigree and branched, but still impressive, mystical and massive, the dragon comes along. For aquaristics, perching plants such as anubias, bucephalandra or mosses such as Java moss can be used to give the dragon an even more primal appearance.Expert tip for aquarists: Before placing the dragon in an aquarium that has already been brought into service, we recommend watering it for a few days and changing the water regularly. This reduces the so-called "bleeding" of the roots and also ensures that the roots do not float up.In a terrarium, make sure that the dragon is suitable above all for light animals such as small lizards, geckos or frogs, otherwise the filigree branches could break off.natural wooden decoration for freshwater aquariums or terrariumshandmade unique pieces ideal for the very special aquarium/terrariuma unique eye-catcherdoes not affect the quality or clarity of the watercan be planted with perennials and mossesapprox. 60 × 30 × 40 cmThe Dragen is a natural product and a one-off, which means that the image is to be understood as a symbolic image.

Steppe crickets (Gryllus assimilis) The steppe cricket (Gryllus assimilis) is one of the most commonly fed feeder insects. the most frequently fed feeder animal larger feeder animal for reptiles and amphibians also for ornamental birds small The steppe cricket is one of the most commonly fed feeder insects. Their calm nature and impressive size make them a preferred meal for almost every insect-eating reptile and also for many soft-feeding birds. Steppe crickets originate from the subtropical climate zones of South America. Females can reach a total length of up to 35 mm, while the males are slightly smaller. The chocolate-brown colouring of the adult animals makes them clearly distinguishable from Mediterranean crickets, which are deep black. Steppe crickets are particularly noticeable to terrarium keepers due to the males' relatively quiet calling and low jumping ability.In contrast to the Mediterranean cricket, the steppe cricket is not as productive. Raising these animals also takes a little longer than with Mediterranean crickets.The animals can be shipped all year round. In summer, care must be taken to ensure that the animals are not exposed to excessive heat, as crickets generate considerable intrinsic heat when particularly active. If this is not sufficiently dissipated, it can cause damage. On the other hand, this is an advantage in winter, as the intrinsic heat in combination with winter packaging enables them to withstand lower temperatures during shipping.Since the crickets are offered in different sizes, they are not just suitable for large lizards. In fact, many owners of medium-sized lizards such as leopard geckos, collared iguanas, juvenile bearded dragons, etc., have recognised a significant benefit in steppe crickets. Medium-sized animals of this species are similar in size to, for example, adult house crickets or short-winged crickets. However, as they are not yet adult, they do not have wings. This means the often bothersome chirping of the males is eliminated.

The mix is particularly suitable for scene construction - for example for mossy areas on back walls, branches, roots, cork or stones. Used correctly, MossMix brings more depth and naturalness to the layout and creates an authentic look without overloading the terrarium. For controlled work and better adhesion, we recommend using it on a suitable base, for example with Shroomroom MossBase, to fix the material to the desired substrate.Zoo Roco tip For particularly natural results, work in zones: Use MossMix specifically where your hardscape offers suitable conditions. First model the substrate (e.g. with TropicalClay and MossBase) and then apply MossMix selectively instead of scattering it over a large area. This makes mossy transitions look more realistic and the overall look remains harmonious.
