When I buy my live food i allways find a load of little black beetles in whith the crickets. I was just wondering if it is safe to feed these to my collards. I dont really want to feed them to my lizards if they will cause them harm. Any help will be appreciated.

they are to help with the breeding of crix, dont know what they do, my BD loves them and i know others feed them too.

those beetles are a pain in the neck! do not let them get into cork bark else the will breed like nutters!
the beetles are not nutritional really and pretty high in chitin...most reps won't even eat them..suppose you could feed one or two but i wouldn't feed a whole load...

here u reckon the crickets get off on being watched by these bugs which is why they breed better??? :lol:

i only ever see one or two every few tubs, they are harmless and to really affect your reptiles im pretty sure thet'd have to eat nothing but and over a period.

The odd one or two shouldnt hurt

My beardies eat em without a seconds thought

nearly there......

they're demestid beetles and the furry catapillars are the larvae. they're popped in the tubs because they are amazing at breaking down dead waste, so demolish any dead crickets in the tubs

people use them to clean animal skeletons

learnt that a few weeks ago. useful bit of knowledge there
