Good product

Very good the springtails they do their job as ground police

Très satisfait

Le paquet était bien plein de collemboles et la terre très bonne pour ce qui faut : voyager aisément vers moi et partir vers ma colonie de fourmis. Pour l'instant on dirait une cohabitation pacifique et symbiotique.

Jumping helpers

I deliberately waited until the temperatures were warmer again. It was definitely worth it! The half litre I ordered was full of live springtails. I put them in my biotope, and a week has now passed and the springtails are happily doing their thing: removing plant debris and the like. Many thanks to Zoo Roco.

Giant mealworms (Tenebrio molitor)
Contents Food animals: approx. 50g tin
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.

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.

Steppe crickets (Gryllus assimilis) medium / subadultThe steppe cricket (Gryllus assimilis) is one of the most frequently fed food insects. the most frequently fed food insect larger food animal for reptiles and amphibians also for ornamental birds medium The steppe cricket is one of the most frequently fed food insects. Their calm nature and quite impressive size make them a favourite meal for almost every insect-eating reptile and many soft-bodied birds, and they come from the subtropical climate zones of South America. The females can reach a total length of up to 35 mm, the males are slightly smaller. The chocolate-brown colouring of the adult animals clearly distinguishes them from Mediterranean crickets, which are deep black. Terrarium keepers will notice the relatively quiet calling of the males and their low jumping power.In contrast to the Mediterranean cricket, the steppe cricket is not as productive. They also take a little longer to breed than the Mediterranean cricket.The animals can be dispatched all year round. In summer, care must be taken to ensure that the animals are not exposed to excessive heat, as the crickets generate considerable heat of their own when they are very active. If this is not is sufficiently removed, this can cause damage. On the other hand, this circumstance is helpful in winter as the intrinsic heat generated in conjunction with winter packaging allows them to withstand lower temperatures during shipping.As the crickets are available in different sizes, they are not only suitable for large lizards. In fact, many keepers of medium-sized lizards such as leopard geckos, collared iguanas, half-grown bearded dragons and the like have recognised the great advantage of these crickets. Medium-sized animals of this species are similar in size to adult crickets or short-winged crickets, for example. However, as they are not yet adults, they do not yet have wings.

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.
