Product information
Rice Flour Beetles are commonly used as feeder insects for species that require very small prey items. Their size makes them especially useful for spiderlings, small frogs, baby reptiles, and other invertebrates that cannot handle larger feeders.
These beetles are simple to keep and reproduce readily when maintained with proper food and temperature. They are often kept as part of a feeder colony to provide a steady, ongoing supply.
This is a live feeder insect product sold responsibly. Proper containment and care should be prepared before purchase.
