Organic Dried Mealworm Powder for isopods and springtails - 1.25 ounces

protein boost for breeding isopods

$9.50

Is your colony craving protein? Isopods and Springtails aren't just leaf-eaters—they are opportunistic scavengers that require high-quality animal protein to fuel their growth, successful molting, and rapid breeding cycles. 

Our Pure Ground Mealworm Powder is the perfect high-energy treat to kick your colony into high gear.

Why Your Clean-Up Crew Needs This:
• Rapid Growth: Packed with essential fats and proteins, this powder provides the caloric "fuel" needed for juveniles to reach adulthood faster.
• Breeding Trigger: High protein levels signal to the colony that resources are abundant, often triggering a massive "baby boom" (mancae) in species like P. laevis and Cubaris.
• Stop Colony Cannibalism: When protein is low, larger isopods may target smaller ones or fresh molters. Providing our mealworm powder ensures every member of the colony stays safe and well-fed. 
• Springtail Superfood: The fine-grind texture is small enough for even the tiniest springtails to carry, helping your bioactive "janitors" stabilize their populations.
The "Clean" Difference:
• 100% Natural: No fillers, no grains, and no additives. Just pure, farm-raised dried mealworms.
• Bioactive Safe: Unlike raw meats or fish flakes that can rot and smell, our dried powder is easy to manage and "lizard-safe" for bioactive enclosures.
• Fine-Grind Texture: We process our mealworms into a coarse powder that offers maximum surface area, making it easy for both isopods and springtails to consume quickly.

Feeding Instructions:
Sprinkle a small "pinch" in a dry area of your enclosure once or twice a week. Watch for the "swarm"—isopods can usually sense the savory aroma of mealworms within minutes!

Note: Offer only what your colony can finish in 24 hours to keep your enclosure fresh.
