Product information "Desert locust (Schistozerca gregaria) subadult"

Desert locust (Schistozerca gregaria)

The desert locust (Schistozerca gregaria) is one of the largest commercially bred feeder animals. Females reach a total length with wings of over 75 mm in some cases.

  • 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.

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.

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.

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.

Size of food animals: Large pack ( large animals)
The Argentine cockroach (Blaptica dubia) large  = tin with 10 pieces medium = tin with 13 pieces bulk pack = approx. 100 pieces Cockroaches are among the most resilient feeder insects. They are undemanding both in keeping and in shipping. As a rule, they can go without food for several days, even some weeks, and can also cope with colder and hotter temperatures during shipping.Cockroaches are gladly accepted by almost all reptiles. They are a good variation and alternative to crickets and grasshoppers. As the males do not call, there is no noise nuisance during keeping or in the terrarium if an animal is not eaten straight away. Due to the fairly considerable size, especially reached by the females, cockroaches are particularly popular with large lizards.The fear that escaped animals could reproduce in a flat is generally unfounded with this species. For breeding, a flat would have to have many damp spots and be strewn with rubbish, which is generally not the case. Escaped animals usually do not find enough food and ultimately die. You will then only find a piece of dried-up animal.
