Care & Storage
Your feeders' journey doesn't end when the box arrives.
Proper housing, ventilation, food, hydration and temperature can make a significant difference in how well live feeders hold after delivery.
Because crickets, discoid roaches, mealworms, superworms and hornworms have very different needs, we've created individual care guides for each feeder we sell.
Crickets
Active, fast-moving and widely used as a staple feeder. Learn how to house your crickets after arrival and maintain them until feeding.
Discoid Roaches
A Florida-appropriate feeder roach with different housing and care requirements from crickets. Learn how to keep your discoids secure and in good condition.

Mealworms
Easy to portion and convenient to keep when stored appropriately. Learn how to manage mealworms after delivery and prepare them for feeding.
Superworms
Not simply oversized mealworms. Their storage needs are different, and the most important difference is that superworms should not be refrigerated.
Hornworms
Large, moisture-rich feeders that can grow surprisingly quickly. Their care is different from our other feeders, especially when it comes to managing growth after arrival.
Start with healthy feeders. Keep them that way.
We raise and ship our feeders with care. Once they arrive, a few simple husbandry practices can help maintain their condition until it's time to feed. Choose your feeder above for species-specific instructions.
