Product information "Steppe crickets (Gryllus assimilis) large"

Steppe crickets (Gryllus assimilis)

The steppe cricket (Gryllus assimilis) is one of the most commonly fed food insects.

  • the most frequently fed food insect
  • larger food insect
  • for reptiles and ornamental birds
  • large - adult

The steppe cricket is one of the most commonly fed food insects.
Their calm nature and impressive size make them a preferred meal for almost every insect-eating reptile and also many soft-bodied birds. Steppe crickets come from the subtropical climate zones of South America. The females can reach a total length of up to 35 mm, the males are somewhat smaller. The chocolate-brown colouring of the adult animals clearly distinguishes them from Mediterranean crickets, which are deep black. The steppe cricket stands out to the terrarist due to the relatively quiet calling of the males and a low jumping power.
In contrast to the Mediterranean cricket, the steppe cricket is not as productive. Rearing these animals also takes a little longer than with the Mediterranean cricket.
The shipment of the animals is possible all year round. In summer, care must be taken to ensure that the animals are not exposed to excessive heat, as crickets generate considerable internal heat when highly active. If this is not
sufficiently dispersed, it can cause damage. In contrast, this circumstance is helpful in winter, since the internal heat generated in conjunction with winter packaging allows them to withstand lower temperatures during shipping.
Since the crickets are offered in various sizes, they are not only suitable for large lizards. In fact, many keepers of medium-sized lizards such as leopard geckos, collared lizards, subadult bearded dragons, or similar species have recognised a great advantage 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 adults, they do not yet have wings. This eliminates the often annoying chirping of the males.

Desert locust (Schistozerca gregaria) small The desert locust (Schistozerca gregaria) is one of the largest commercially bred food animals. Females reach a total length with wings of over 75 mm in some cases. popular food animal for reptiles and amphibians larger than the migratory locust small The desert locust is one of the largest commercially bred food animals. Females reach a total length with wings of over 75 mm in some cases. Males usually remain somewhat smaller. This means that desert locusts are up to 30% larger than, for example, the migratory locust (Locusta migratoria). The animals are pink-grey in colour after moulting. Over the next 6-10 days, the colouring changes, especially in the males, to a strong yellow. However, the animals have the most beautiful colouring and patterning during the juvenile and subadult stage. Here, the animals are also coloured lemon yellow with a black pattern. It is precisely this colouring that arouses the prey drive in many reptile species, which makes the desert locust particularly popular with 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 is not too demanding on special types of food.As a feeder insect, the desert locust is also particularly suitable because it usually survives shipping even in extreme heat and cold without damage and can also survive for up to 2 weeks after shipping without additional food.Desert locusts are generally accepted by all lizards. Experience has shown that they are particularly popular with large lizards such as bearded dragons, water dragons, basilisks, monitors, frilled lizards etc. They are particularly popular with many chameleon species, as these are particularly attracted to the yellow colouring of juvenile and subadult animals.

Exo Terra Rain Forest
Variant: 8.8 litres | Variant (2): 8.8 litres
Exo Terra Rain Forest for terrariums Exo Terra Rain Forest is an ideal substrate for rainforest terrariums and naturally controls humidity! Substrate for rainforest terrariums 100% natural Mixture of maritime pine and sphagnum moss naturally controls humidity perfect for moisture-loving reptiles, amphibians and invertebrates odour-absorbing and heat-treated ideal for tropical plants 8.8L 26.4L Exo Terra substrate for rainforest terrariums is a 100% natural, biodegradable terrarium substrate consisting of a mixture of maritime pine & sphagnum moss sourced from sustainable cultivation. Exo Terra substrate for rainforest terrariums is the ideal decorative substrate in naturally planted terrariums for moisture-loving reptiles, amphibians and invertebrates from tropical forests. The substrate for rainforest terrariums regulates humidity in the terrarium in a natural way: it absorbs moisture and then slowly releases it again. The hygroscopic properties are maximised by adding natural sphagnum moss to the mixture. Appropriate humidity levels support shedding and help to prevent respiratory infection. The unique size and shape of the bark particles in combination with the natural sphagnum moss allow for frequent watering of the plants and ensure healthy root growth in the substrate with good aeration. Exo Terra Rain Forest is heat-treated to avoid bacterial contamination. Instructions for use:Spread a 5–10 cm thick layer of the bark on the terrarium floor. Moisten the substrate as needed to achieve the required humidity level and use an Exo Terra hygrometer to monitor. To increase humidity in well-ventilated terrariums or in terrariums where very high humidity is required, a substrate heater should be placed under the terrarium. Remove heavily soiled substrate spot-wise daily. Replace the substrate completely as needed.

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.

Their calm nature and impressive size make them a preferred meal for almost every insect-eating reptile and also many soft-bodied birds. Steppe crickets come from the subtropical climate zones of South America. The females can reach a total length of up to 35 mm, the males are somewhat smaller. The chocolate-brown colouring of the adult animals clearly distinguishes them from Mediterranean crickets, which are deep black. The steppe cricket stands out to the terrarist due to the relatively quiet calling of the males and a low jumping power.In contrast to the Mediterranean cricket, the steppe cricket is not as productive. Rearing these animals also takes a little longer than with the Mediterranean cricket.The shipment of the animals is possible all year round. In summer, care must be taken to ensure that the animals are not exposed to excessive heat, as crickets generate considerable internal heat when highly active. If this is not sufficiently dispersed, it can cause damage. In contrast, this circumstance is helpful in winter, since the internal heat generated in conjunction with winter packaging allows them to withstand lower temperatures during shipping.Since the crickets are offered in various sizes, they are not only suitable for large lizards. In fact, many keepers of medium-sized lizards such as leopard geckos, collared lizards, subadult bearded dragons, or similar species have recognised a great advantage in steppe crickets.

This means that if the flies are mixed with flight-capable animals, the offspring are predominantly able to fly again. In this case, the flight-capable animals must be sorted out before further breeding can take place. House flies are offered either in breeding batches or in the form of washed-out pupae.
