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. 

Where can I buy insect housing for reptile food insects?

Insect housing, along with other reptile foods, decor, electrical appliances and accessories, are available from our online store, for delivery throughout QLD, NSW, ACT, SA and VIC.

Cricket and Woodie Value Packs are delivered in robust ventilated containers that can be recycled to house mini-bulks. 

Your local hardware or discount store may stock large plastic storage boxes suitable for insect habitats. 

How do I store bulk feeder insects at home?

Bulk feeder insects should be kept in clean, well-ventilated containers with appropriate food and humidity levels depending on the insect species. Information Sheets can be found here: https://reptilerealm.com.au/blogs/news

Where can I find an insect store near me?

Australia’s largest insect farm, Reptile Realm, delivers insects to zoos, sanctuaries and reptile-loving families anywhere within QLD, NSW, ACT, SA and VIC. 

Lots of insects go to pet stores to die before they are sold, so the eco-friendly way to buy insects is online. Fresh insects are delivered directly to where they are needed without excess losses, extra food miles and wasted packaging. 

Can I buy bulk insects and housing from the same shop?

Yes, Reptile Realm offers both bulk feeder insects, care products and the habitat aids needed to care for them.

What should I feed insects kept for reptile food?

Crickets and Woodies should be fed Pisces Woodie & Cricket Food, Gutload and Aquaload. 

Mealworms, Superworms, Giant Mealworms, Mini-mealies, BSFL or Vitaworms can be given Wheat Bran and fresh carrot slices. 

Feeding excess vegetables, dogfood, catfood and other grain products is not recommended, and may cause shortened life spans. 

Where should I keep my Woodies and Crickets?

Crickets and Woodies should be kept in a very warm 25ºC-30ºC dry room, with clean air and no pollution or pesticides.

disappointing experience and fake friendliness that doesn't actually translate to real customer service

Hi there, I think that the fake may be your review unfortunately. I cannot find an order associated with your email but a google search brings up a competitors page. I am happy to help you if you have a real problem, please reach out. Regards, Lisa

Hi Alison, Thanks for your review and photo. I replied to your email asking how to contact me - I was not aware that there was a problem. I am sorry to hear that they had a rough trip. That happens occasionally. I will replace them for you. Kind regards, Lisa
