Are Woodies good for lizards and animals to eat?

What are Woodies?
Otherwise known as Australian wood roaches (Nauphotea cinerea), Woodies are one of our most popular feeder insects. Whether live, dried or frozen, Woodies are irresistible for bearded dragons, blue-tongue lizards, angle headed dragons, frogs and any other pet that loves insects. They are a brown roach that lives in leaf litter in the wild. 

Are woodies good to eat? 
Wood roaches are packed full of protein, fibre, vitamins and minerals. Like crickets, they can be Gutloaded before feeding them to your animals for an extra nutrient boost.

Woodies are also popular for their low-maintenance care requirements. A robust insect, they are relatively easy to keep and have live young.

We believe in healthy food for a healthy pet, and Woodies make for a very healthy livefood. The benefits of Woodies goes beyond just what’s inside them: as live insects, they foster natural foraging and hunting behaviours in your pets, encouraging physical activity and reducing stress in the flock.

Many animals enjoy the challenge of catching insects, which supports their mental well-being and promotes a healthy, active lifestyle. Feeding with alive insects is a great enrichment activity for captive animals. 

At Reptile Realm, we’re all about making the health and wellbeing of your reptiles as easy and affordable to maintain as possible. So nutritious Woodies are available in a range of sizes and quantities, to meet the needs of you and your menagerie. Raising tiny pygmy bearded dragons fresh from eggs? We have tubs of small woodies just right for your tiny lizards. Maybe you have big greedy ackie monitors? Well then a bulk pack of large Woodies might be what you’re looking for! 

If you want to keep live Woodies on hand, they’re easy to care for and produce minimal smell and waste. We have a range of accessories that make keeping livefood easy: including insect apartments and containers, Fluon Insect Barrier to prevent escapees, and important nutrients like Woodie & Cricket Food, Gutload and Aquaload to ensure your Woodies are providing your reptiles and amphibians the highest possible health benefits. 

Are there woodies for people who are afraid of skittering bugs?
We even have non-moving options like frozen, dried and vac-packed Woodies. These are a fantastic option if you don’t want to keep live Woodies, or even if you prefer the live option but want a backup option for when the live ones run out. 

Lots of lizards including Central Bearded Dragons, Boyd's Forest Dragons, Pygmy Dragons, Lace Monitors and Goannas, Knob-tailed Geckos, Frilled lizards, Skinks Shinglebacks and Water Dragons. Also frogs, fish, birds, wildbirds, rescue native wildlife, zoo animals, spiders, scorpions and praying mantis.
