  • 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.

HeatStrip II - Windscreen Heater
Size: 750 mm
HeatStrip II from SolarRaptorWith the HeatStrip from SolarRaptor, a warm breeze blows through your terrarium - putting an end to misted-up windows.Easy installation due to self-adhesive backingAir warmer/window heaterNo more misted up windowsPrevents cold draughtsThe problem of draughts in terrariums is often underestimated: especially with large ventilation areas, it can quickly become too draughty for the animals because colder air is constantly flowing in. Then they only stay directly under the heaters and are thus restricted in their natural behaviour. In the worst cases, this can even lead to respiratory diseases.The SolarRaptor HeatStrip II is a unique heating system. Terrarium owners usually mount the self-adhesive rod directly on the front air inlet of their terrarium. This heats the incoming air and increases the air temperature in the entire terrarium. In addition, the so-called "chimney effect" ensures an overall improved air exchange.The Heatstrip thus ensures a constant supply of fresh and warm air and improves the climate for both the animals and the plants in the terrarium.For owners of a rainforest terrarium, the HeatStrip has another advantage: Rainforest terrariums have high humidity, which is usually produced with the help of sprinkler systems or ultrasonic foggers, so the windows often mist up. This is not only unpleasant for the animals, but also a nuisance for the reptile or amphibian keeper. As the heat source of the HeatStrip is located directly on the front pane, condensation of humidity on the pane is effectively counteracted. This means no misted-up windows and thus always a clear view of the animals.Please note: A DRV power supply unit is required for operation - please order separately.Variants:450mm / 8 Watt750mm / 12 Watt950mm / 16 Watt

Mealworms mini (Tenebrio molitor) The mealworm (Tenebrio molitor) is actually the beetle larva of the meal beetle.

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.

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.
