Feeder insects for terrarium animals – top-quality live food

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.

 

Fruit flies – the main food source for poison dart frogs

The basic diet of many poison dart frogs consists of fruit flies (Drosophila) of various sizes:

 

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

Advantages:

  • Targeted feeding without escape
  • simple pollination with supplements
  • ideal for daily feeding

 

 

Springtails – prey animal & soil police

Tropical springtails (Collembola) are true all-rounders in the terrarium:

  • ideal microfood for young animals and small species
  • Available in various culture sizes
  • indispensable for bioactive terrariums

 

Additional functions:

  • Decomposition of organic material
  • Stabilization of the soil climate
  • Prevention of mold growth

 

 

White woodlice – efficient waste recyclers

The tropical white isopods (Trichorhina tomentosa) are an important component of bioactive systems:

  • Suitable as food for smaller poison dart frogs
  • also suitable for small reptiles
  • very efficient in the decomposition of organic waste

 

They contribute significantly to a stable terrarium ecosystem.

 

Silverfish – active food without risk

Ovenfish (Thermobia domestica) are particularly versatile:

  • Food for larger frog species
  • Suitable for small geckos and anoles
  • also suitable for mantises

 

Special advantage:

There is no risk that they will establish themselves as household pests if they escape.

 

Other feeder insects for larger terrarium animals

For larger terrarium inhabitants, we offer classic feeder animals:

 

Suitable for:
