Dried Larvae

A calcium-forward protein treat your isopods will actually chase down. Dried BSFL are a great way to boost growth, reproduction, and moulting success without the phosphorus-heavy imbalance you get with mealworms. They’re clean, low-odor, and easy to portion—perfect for bioactive crews and display colonies alike.

Why BSFL over mealworms for isopods

• Better mineral balance: Naturally high in calcium with a favourable Ca:P ratio, so you’re not loading your colony with excess phosphorus like mealworms do.
• Useful “ash,” not fluff: The mineral (ash) content in BSFL is calcium-rich—great for exoskeletons and overall shell health.
• Quality protein: Packed with essential amino acids to support growth and breeding.
• Moderate fats: Energy without turning the feeding spot greasy.
• Keeper-friendly: Low odour, shelf-stable, and less likely to foul the enclosure when fed in sensible amounts.

How to Use

• Offer a small pinch 1–2× per week as a supplement (not a daily staple).
• Crush lightly for tiny species/juveniles.
• Remove any leftovers after 24 hours in very humid setups.
• Store sealed in a cool, dry place.

Best For: Isopods (all species), beetles, roaches, and other omnivorous inverts.
