A feeder that also tidies up. Buffalo beetles (Alphitobius diaperinus), also called lesser mealworms, are small and soft bodied, making them an easy first food for baby reptiles, amphibians, and other small pets that need something more active than a standard mealworm.

Many keepers also add them to dubia colonies and bioactive enclosures, where the larvae and beetles help clean up leftover food and organic debris alongside your other cleanup crew.

  • Small and soft bodied, easy for young pets to eat
  • Active movement that triggers feeding response

  • Ships in breathable, insulated packaging
