Feeder insects form the basis of a species-appropriate diet for many terrarium animals. At Rana Terraria you will find a wide selection of high-quality feeder insects – from classic feeder insects to specialized micro-foods for demanding species such as poison dart frogs.
Our particular strength lies in the area of microfoods for tropical amphibians and small reptiles – optimally tailored to sensitive species and young animals.

Our crops are deliberately bred to be flightless, which makes handling much easier.
