Storing feed insects properly means keeping a small supply in a way that fits your pets\u2019 needs and your daily routine. Here, you\u2019ll learn what fruit flies, gold flies, soldier flies, waxworms, crickets, feed cockroaches, mealworms, and ovenfish need after delivery.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

For a single jumping spider or just a few mantises, you don\u2019t need a large prey-rearing operation. It\u2019s often enough to order small quantities, set up the containers properly, and take a quick look inside every day. It\u2019s important to note that a maggot doesn\u2019t need the same care as a fly that has hatched later.<\/p>\n\n

Go straight to your feed animals:<\/strong> fruit flies<\/a> \u00b7 golden flies and blowflies<\/a> \u00b7 soldier flies<\/a> \u00b7 waxworms<\/a> \u00b7 crickets and cockroaches<\/a> \u00b7 mealworms<\/a> \u00b7 ovenworms<\/a><\/p>\n\n

\n

Not every can of feed belongs in the refrigerator.<\/strong>The type of feed animal and its developmental stage are key factors. Briefly cooling the feed before removing it is different from long-term storage. Follow the instructions included with your delivery, and do not refrigerate unfamiliar feed animals just because you suspect they might need it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

<\/div>\n\n

Storing Feed Animals Properly: Getting Started After Delivery<\/h2>\n\n

Open the shipping package as soon as possible and check the cans for damage, moisture leakage, and dead insects. Remove the outer packaging so that the designated ventilation areas remain unobstructed. A food can needs a secure lid and proper air circulation.<\/p>\n\n

Choose a spot that isn’t in direct sunlight and doesn’t have a radiator underneath it. Also, don’t place the container on a warm terrarium. Check for leftover food and moisture daily. Remove spoiled food and dead animals before mold or an unpleasant odor spreads.<\/p>\n\n

You don\u2019t have to implement everything right away.<\/strong> If the delivery container is intact, properly ventilated, and suitable for the quantity, you can continue using it for now. An additional box is worth having if it gets too cramped or if you want to keep hatched flies separate.<\/p>\n\n

<\/div>\n\n

Fruit Flies: Maintaining the Culture<\/h2>\n\n

Both small and large fruit flies are practical food sources for many young jumping spiders and mantises. In addition to the visible flies, a culture also contains larvae in the food mash. Leave this culture in its cup and keep the ventilation unobstructed.<\/p>\n\n

Place the cup at normal room temperature, away from direct sunlight. Your current batch is not intended for long-term storage in the refrigerator. The mixture should neither dry out nor be submerged in water. Therefore, do not simply pour water into it.<\/p>\n\n

To remove some, first tap the flies from the lid into the cup and transfer a small portion to a second, empty cup. Close the container again. This makes it easier to measure out the right amount, and you won’t have to open the entire container over the terrarium.<\/p>\n\n

For very small young insects, we offer the \u201cAnt\u201d fruit fly and the \u201cTurkish Glider\u201d fruit fly. The \u201cAnt\u201d has no fully developed wings. The \u201cTurkish Glider\u201d has wings and can glide, but cannot fly actively. Both are domesticated strains of Drosophila melanogaster.<\/p>\n\n

Goldflies and blowflies: Place the maggots directly into the terrarium<\/h2>\n\n

With goldflies and blowflies, you can feed both the larvae and the adult flies. Choose a size that’s appropriate for your jumping spider or mantis.<\/p>\n\n

Our practical tip:<\/strong> Take only the maggots you need and place them directly into the terrarium. Your mantis or jumping spider can eat the maggot right away. If any are left over, they can pupate there. Under the right conditions, a fly will hatch after a few days, which your pet can then hunt. How quickly this happens depends on the temperature and the fly\u2019s stage of development.<\/p>\n\n

Put only a few maggots in and keep an eye on what\u2019s already in the terrarium. This way, you\u2019ll avoid having too many flies hatch at once later on. Pause feeding during a molt.<\/p>\n\n

You can store the remaining supply in the refrigerator to slow down their development. Use a securely sealed, ventilated container and keep it separate from open food items. The maggots must not freeze. Check on them regularly, as refrigeration does not halt their development indefinitely.<\/p>\n\n

If you let flies hatch separately and keep them for a longer period, they\u2019ll need food. Offer them some sugar water or honey water. You can use our magnetic water dishes for this. Alternatively, an absorbent pad on which the flies can drink the liquid will suffice. Refresh the mixture daily and clean the water dishes regularly. An open liquid dish is unsuitable because the flies can drown in it. As a container, you can use a ventilated tin you already have or our BraPlast tin with a gauze lid.<\/p>\n\n

Military flies: Feed the larvae; feed the flies promptly<\/h2>\n\n

For our soldier fly larvae, you can choose between larvae and pupae. Therefore, check first which stage you ordered. For short-term storage, we recommend room temperature. Do not place the container in a standard household refrigerator, as you would with goldfly larvae.<\/p>\n\n

The larvae need food:<\/strong> Mash some ripe banana into a paste and offer them a small portion. Alternatively, you can use our Beetle Jelly. Add just enough so that it doesn’t turn into a fermenting, wet mess. Check daily and remove any spoiled leftovers.<\/p>\n\n

Pupae do not eat. Let them hatch in a safe, well-ventilated container. You do not need to provide banana puree or jelly for feeding the newly hatched soldier flies right away. This feeding recommendation applies to the larvae; keeping or breeding the adult flies for a longer period is a separate scenario.<\/p>\n\n

Larvae, pupae, and adult flies vary in size and mobility. Choose the stage that best suits your pet. Many mantises and larger jumping spiders respond particularly well to newly hatched flies.<\/p>\n\n

Waxworms: Food is already included in the shipping container<\/h2>\n\n

Our waxworms come in a container with food that they can eat while in storage. Leave them in this container for immediate use and ensure proper ventilation. The material is therefore not merely packaging, but actually nourishes the insects.<\/p>\n\n

\"Storing
The delivery container already contains food. The waxworms can continue to feed on it.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n

Choose a cool place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Follow the storage instructions included with your shipment. Check the container regularly and remove dead larvae and spoiled material.<\/p>\n\n

As long as there is enough high-quality food available, you don’t need to add anything to maintain a small supply. If you’re raising your own waxworms or want to continue feeding waxworms you’ve been keeping for a while, you can find waxworm food here. Order the waxworms in a quantity that you can use as a supplement.<\/p>\n\n

Crickets and feed cockroaches: Feed them a small supply as well<\/h2>\n\n

For suitable tarantulas, scorpions, and other insectivorous invertebrates, house crickets or Argentine forest cockroaches can serve as food sources. Keep them separate in escape-proof, well-ventilated containers. The refrigerator is not a suitable storage solution in this case.<\/p>\n\n

Pieces of an egg carton provide a walking surface and hiding spots. Keep the container clean and avoid a constantly damp environment. In addition to food, the animals need a reliable source of moisture, such as small pieces of suitable fresh food or an appropriate insect water dish, like our magnetic water dish. Remove food scraps promptly.<\/p>\n\n

Breeding crickets and cockroaches yourself: when is it worth it?<\/h2>\n\n

If you regularly care for several tarantulas or other insectivores, starting your own breeding program may make sense. However, it requires space, regular care, and time before offspring are available. For just a few feed animals now and then, a well-stocked storage box is often sufficient.<\/p>\n\n

For house crickets<\/strong>, you\u2019ll need sexually mature insects, hiding places, food, water, and a suitable egg-laying container. The Insektenliebe House Cricket and Field Cricket Breeding Complete Set includes, among other things, food, a magnetic water dispenser, an egg carton, and an egg-laying kit with coconut humus. Keep the egg-laying area slightly moist, while the food and the rest of the box remain dry and clean. Young crickets need a breeding environment that\u2019s particularly escape-proof.<\/p>\n\n

With Argentine forest cockroaches<\/strong>, you don\u2019t need a separate egg-laying tray like you do with crickets: the females give birth to live young. Keep some of the adult insects as a breeding group. Our Insektenliebe Complete Cockroach Feeding Set includes, among other things, egg cartons, cockroach food, and a magnetic water dish. Ensure appropriate warmth, good ventilation, and clean feeding areas. The conditions depend on the cockroach species.<\/p>\n\n

Both sets already include food. You\u2019ll only need the food types linked above to restock. Live feed is not included in the boxes as listed. Therefore, plan to start your breeding program with a suitable breeding group and a small supply of food for the transition period.<\/p>\n\n

Storing Mealworms: Wheat Bran as Food and Bedding<\/h2>\n\n

Our mealworms are delivered already mixed with wheat bran. The bran serves as a substrate and is eaten by the larvae. Keep a small supply in a clean, well-ventilated plastic container. Store them away from direct sunlight and without additional heat. A room at normal temperature is suitable for short-term care; in warm conditions, the larvae develop more quickly.<\/p>\n\n

You can use wheat bran to supplement used food. As long as there is enough clean bran in the feeding container, you don’t need to refill it. A small piece of carrot is good for moisture. Check it daily and remove any leftovers before they get moldy. The bran itself should stay dry; don\u2019t pour water into it.<\/p>\n\n

Take only the amount you need and choose the larval size that\u2019s appropriate for your pet. Mealworms can hide in the substrate. Therefore, monitor feeding and remove any uneaten worms.<\/p>\n\n

Storing Baked Fish: Dry Food and the Right Level of Moisture<\/h2>\n\n

Oven bugs (Thermobia domestica) are agile food sources for suitable jumping spiders, mantises, and small tarantulas. Keep them in a securely closed, ventilated container with dry hiding spots. The refrigerator is unsuitable for these heat-loving animals. For a small, short-term supply, you don\u2019t need your own breeding setup.<\/p>\n\n

Offer wheat bran as a dry staple food in small portions. Keep it dry and replace any soiled food. Unlike with mealworms, do not put any moist fruit or vegetables in the container.<\/p>\n\n

Just because the food is dry doesn\u2019t mean the animals can do without moisture.<\/strong> Ovenfish need the right level of humidity. In a long-term housing box, a stable water dish with a fine-mesh, snug-fitting cover ensures this. The animals must not be able to get into it. Avoid condensation and keep food and hiding spots dry.<\/p>\n\n

Breeding them yourself requires significantly warmer conditions than a short-term stay. Always give them only a small portion of food so you can keep track of what\u2019s happening in the terrarium.<\/p>\n\n

Storing Live Feed: How Much Should You Stockpile?<\/h2>\n\n

Base your decision on how many animals you\u2019re actually caring for and what kind of food they\u2019re currently eating. A young jumping spider needs different portion sizes than several large mantises. Molting phases also change their needs. A large package is only practical if you can properly care for the live food until it\u2019s used up.<\/p>\n\n

The next time you place an order, keep track of how much you use and how much is left over. It\u2019s best to start with a small amount. You don\u2019t need to keep several types of feed in stock at the same time just because they\u2019re generally suitable for your pet.<\/p>\n\n

Storing Feed Animals: Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n\n
Can I keep all my live feed animals in the same container?<\/summary>\n

Keep the species separate. This way, you can choose the right food, humidity, and location, and it\u2019s easier to tell if a particular batch is causing problems.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n

How long does a can of pet food last?<\/summary>\n

It\u2019s not possible to specify a fixed shelf life for all shipments. The type, age, developmental stage, transportation, and care of the animals all affect how long you can keep them. Check your supply daily and don\u2019t plan for months of supply based solely on the number of items.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n

Are dark larvae always dead?<\/summary>\n

No. Soldier fly larvae, in particular, become darker and less active before pupation. Therefore, assess the species and developmental stage before discarding any insects. Mold and rot, on the other hand, are reasons to remove the affected insects and material.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n

Can I feed mealworms and ovenfish at the same time?<\/summary>\n

Both can eat wheat bran, but they require different care. You can offer mealworms a small piece of carrot as a source of moisture. For ovenfish, the food remains dry; appropriate humidity is maintained separately. Keep both species in their own containers.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n
