Frequently Asked Questions

What are feeder insects for reptiles?

Feeder insects are live, dried, frozen or vacuum-sealed bugs such as crickets, wood roaches, mealworms and BSFL, that are fed to reptiles, amphibians, and exotic pets as a source of protein and enrichment.

Can I buy bulk feeder insects for reptiles?

Yes, we have an extensive range of bulk feeder insects available for delivery. These bulk options are ideal for keepers with multiple reptiles, or those wanting to save on regular orders.

What are the benefits of ordering bulk feeder insects?

Bulk packs provide great value by saving money and reducing packaging waste. They also ensure fresh, healthy live insects are delivered directly from our farm to your door.

Can I choose specific sizes of insects in bulk orders?

Yes, our bulk packs come in a range of insect sizes and insect quantities to suit the size, number and appetite of your pets.

How fresh are the insects when delivered?

All bulk orders are delivered fresh from our farm to ensure the healthiest live food for your pets. By ordering directly from our farm to your door, you eliminate middlemen like pet stores, where livefood may sit on the shelf for a long time before purchase, lessening the freshness.

What feeder insects have the most protein?

Black soldier fly larvae and crickets are among the feeder insects with the highest protein content, making them an excellent choice for reptiles and amphibians needing a protein-rich diet. All insects contain good protein.

What is gut-loading for feeder insects?

Gut-loading is the process of feeding nutrient-rich food “Gutload” to feeder insects like crickets and woodies, before offering them to your animal. The undigested gutload provides a boost of carbohydrates, fatty acids, protein, vitamins and minerals. This ensures the insects provide optimal nutrition to pets, reptiles, birds and amphibians.

The gutload is also a great daily diet for your Woodies and Crickets to maximise their health.

Where can I buy live reptile food in Australia?

The best way to get the freshest, healthiest feeder insects is to order directly from Australia’s largest insect farm: Reptile Realm. We deliver direct from our farm to your door, throughout QLD, NSW, ACT, SA and VIC.

How long does live food last?

The lifespan of live food depends on the type of insect and storage method. Optimum care will increase their life-span. See our Information Sheets and Product Pages for Care Guides. Different livefood will have different storage requirements.

How often should I feed my bearded dragon live insects?

Juvenile bearded dragons should be fed live insects daily, while adults typically need live insects 2–3 times per week, depending on their dietary needs and age. Your breeder should provide detailed guidance for feeding your animals. 

Where can I buy bulk feeder insects in Australia?

Reptile Realm sells bulk live feeder insects — woodies, crickets, mealworms, BSFL and superworms — farm-fresh with a live arrival guarantee and fast delivery across eastern Australia.

Is it cheaper to buy feeder insects in bulk?

Yes. Buying feeder insects in bulk gives a significantly lower per-insect cost than tubs, making it the best-value option for keepers with multiple or larger reptiles.

How do I keep bulk feeder insects alive longer?

Store bulk insects in a ventilated container with Gutload and Aquaload hydration, kept at an appropriate stable temperature, to maximise longevity and nutrition.

How much do bulk live insects cost in Australia?

Bulk live insect prices vary by species and quantity; buying larger packs lowers the unit price, and orders over $150 ship free across QLD, NSW, ACT, SA and VIC.

Who buys feeder insects in bulk?

Bulk feeder insects are ideal for reptile breeders, multi-pet households, wildlife carers, zoos and poultry keepers who need a steady, cost-effective supply.

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

There was only one problem and that was in the delivery. I was checking the email from reptile realm that had the tracking number on the third morning and low and behold it was waiting at the local post office from the previous morning. This means it was delivered within 24 hours door to door, now that was pretty quick. But my thoughts tell me why I wasn't informed earlier from Auspost, usually they let me know via email to track the parcel. But not in this case.
