Description

The Confused Rice Flour Beetle (Tribolium confusum) is an easy-to-culture, convenient food source for pets that enjoy smaller food items. These Rice Flour Beetles cultures consist of around 100 breeding adults and a good amount of flour media. They need some time to start producing, which is why we age ours a full month before shipping. However, when Rice Flour Beetles do breed, they are very easy to maintain and can go months without any upkeep, making them an ideal 'special treat' or 'backup feeder' if you run out of other feeder insects.

How to Feed: Adult Rice Flour Beetles are capable of emitting an unpleasant tasting chemical when threatened, making them unpalatable to many animals. Their larvae, however, are very nutritious and palatable, and most Poison Dart Frogs, Bumble Bee Toads, fish, and other small animals will eat Rice Flour Beetle larvae with relish. Rice Flour Beetle larvae are harvested from the media with a Rice Flour Beetle sifter.
