More bean weevil cultures
As it says.
Ideal for fish, frogs, toads, small geckos, and small / young mantis, spiders, scorps etc. Very easy to breed. Just add some beans and adults from the old culture to a handfull of black eyed beans, and place somewhere warm (I put mine by an aquarium starter unit). With in a week, the pot will be exploding with weevils. Just split the culture again, and add more beans! I have four constantly rotating, 2 being used for food, after a week I give them a rest period, new beans, and use the other 2. Never buy food again!! You will recieve a culture with loads of new / fresh beans, and a handfull of old beans (covered in eggs) and adults. What eats them?? I feed them to my dwarf scorps, fire belly toads, mantis nymphs, dart frogs, oh and fly traps & pitcher plants! £2.50 culture, £1.50 p&p... or will swap for vivarium plants or bugs!

Do these make good, nutritious food? If so i'll take 1. The change will do my dart frogs, house gecko and green anoles good.

The beans are black eyed beans you can buy them from health food shops, yes very easy to breed, just leave them in the container, and take out when needed you will see eggs on the beans.

Hmmm, sound interesting do you have any nutritional data for them? And can they climb glass to escape the vivarium?
