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.

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.

If it is very cold, we recommend ordering the heat pad as an addition; this offers some protection against losses during the winter months.

Josera Hypoallergenic Dry Supports your cat with food intolerances and allergies. Does your cat have a problem with allergies? Does she often scratch or even have bald patches on the body? Exactly for such cases, the Josera Help Gastro was developed.
