Live Larvae: Feedstock
These live larvae are in the process of preparing to pupate (a dormant phase they enter while becoming adult flies).
They are ideal for use in starting your own colony or for buyers with exotic pets, birds, poultry, and fish who want to have more time on their hands between receiving and feeding.
Larvae come in 3 sizes:
Small: the earliest stage of the larvae. Ideal for fish and smaller animals.
Medium: about mid-way through the larval stage. Ideal for chickens, lizards and amphibians.
Large: near the end of the larval stage, these larvae are fat and juicy but at over 2cm they may be a challenge for smaller animals to consume.
