Description

Fluker Farms has been breeding feeder insects for over 50 years, and also breeding reptiles for over a decade. We have used our breeding experience to give us the insight to produce quality, cutting-edge products for the beginner and the most advanced reptile enthusiasts. Live Feeder Insects Acheta Domesticus are an excellent source of protein and are very easily “gut-loaded” with calcium and other important vitamins for your pets. A Cricket (Acheta domesticus) is an insect with distant relations to the grasshopper, and are found almost all over the world! They can range in size, but a Fluker cricket can get up to an inch in length. Pick the size that best fits your pet's needs! You should gut-load Acheta Domesticus with Fluker's High Calcium Cricket Diet 24 hours before introducing them to the reptile. You could also mix half of the High Calcium Cricket Diet with half of the Cricket Diet. The optimum temperature range for Acheta Domesticus should be 70°-75°F during the day and at night. This is necessary for their metabolism and immune system to function properly. A bulk of one thousand Acheta Domesticus will require at least a 10-gallon aquarium. Suitable substrates for your cricket homes include egg crates and orchid bark. You should also provide dark places for hiding. It is important to clean the cage out at least once a week, or between cricket shipments. Feeder insects should be no larger than the space between your pet’s eyes. Explore other Live Insects available from Fluker's. Mealworms (Tenebrio molitor) are the larvae of mealworm beetles and are an abundant food source for many animals. Birds, spiders, reptiles, even other insects prey on mealworms to find a high protein and fat source in the wild, and it is much the same in captivity! Superworms are the larvae of a darkling beetle, Zophobas morio. Not to be confused with giant mealworms, which are mealworms sprayed with a juvenile hormone, superworms are a great source of calcium, fat and fiber. Hornworms are an excellent feeder treat for bearded dragons, leopard geckos, chameleons, and various other reptiles and pets. Their bright green color stimulates picky eaters, and they are extremely low maintenance. Soldier Worms, the live larvae of the black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens), are a naturally nutritious, protein-packed, calcium-rich treat for your pet. Their balanced Calcium to Phosphorus ratio is ideal for reptiles (without the need for dusting), and can help prevent Metabolic Bone Disease.
