FEEDERS
Posted by sschind under Uncategorized
The following feeder animals available at Tropical Oasis. It is always best to call ahead to confirm availability.
- MICE: Live mice from pinkies to large adults. Frozen mice from pinkies to large adults
- RATS: Live rats from pinkies to large adults. Frozen rats from small to large adults. Smaller sizes possible by special request.
- CRICKETS: Small approximately 3/8 inch, Medium approximately 5/8 inch & Large approximately 1 inch. Sizes do vary, sometimes the large are a bit on the small side and sometimes the mediums are a bit on the large side. You get what I mean. I would like to always have them the same size but I have what they send me.
- MEALWORMS: Regular mealworms (Tenebrio molitor)
- SUPERWORMS: King mealworms (Zoophobas morio)
- DISCOID ROACHES: (Blaberus discoidalis) Quantities are limited for now, please call for availability.
One thing you will notice is the absence of feeder fish on the list. I do not carry feeder fish for a variey of reasons but the 2 main reasons reasons are that for the most part feeder fish are raised in horrible conditions and as often as not they are unhealthy or parasite ridden, and, a steady diet of feeder fish has proven to be unhealthy in some cases. A varied diet of quality flake, pelleted or frozen foods is a better choice. If you are looking for a treat for your large predatory fish why not try crickets or mealworms.
