Frequently Asked Questions

What are feeder insects?

Feeder insects are live, dried or frozen bugs — crickets, woodies, mealworms, BSFL and more — fed to reptiles, amphibians and exotic pets for protein and enrichment.

Reptile Realm offers Australia's largest range of farm-fresh feeder insects online, delivered fast to QLD, NSW, ACT, SA and VIC with a live arrival guarantee.

What is the best feeder insect for bearded dragons?

A varied diet works best — woodies, crickets, BSFL and silkworms each add different protein and calcium benefits for healthy bearded dragons.

What feeder insects are highest in calcium?

BSFL (Vitaworms) are the highest-calcium feeder, with around 20 times the calcium of crickets, making them ideal for bone health alongside a varied diet.

What is gut-loading feeder insects?

Gut-loading is feeding nutrient-rich food to insects before offering them, so the undigested gutload boosts protein, vitamins and minerals for your pet.

How are live insects delivered safely?

Which feeder insects can hatch into flying food?
