Frequently Asked Questions

How do I keep my insects alive and healthy?

You can find detailed information about bug care on the product pages and our Information Sheets. https://reptilerealm.com.au/blogs/news 

What is the best housing for live feeder insects?

The best housing for live feeder insects depends on the insect. 

Crickets and woodies thrive in warm, ventilated containers with hiding spots, food, and moisture sources to keep them alive and healthy.

Mealworms, Superworms, Giant Mealworms, Mini-mealies, BSFL or Vitaworms can be stored in a ventilated or lidless shallow container, and be given wheat bran and fresh carrot slices. BSFL may hatch into long Black Soldier Flies if they become still and dark. A ventilated lid is a good idea, before they fly away.
