Flour beetles, also known as Tribolium confusum, are a popular food source for many captive reptiles, such as lizards, geckos, agamas, and some snake species. They are a rich source of protein and relatively easy to breed.

Breeding flour beetles

Flour beetles are bred in controlled conditions, in special containers with well-ventilated lids.

Basic diet composition

The basic diet for flour beetles, similar to most insects, consists of oats or wheat flour.

Feeding method

Before feeding mealworms to reptiles, it is recommended to "gut-load" them. This involves placing them in a container with nutritious food, such as vegetables or fruits, for a few hours. This allows the mealworms to consume fresh food, enriching their nutritional value and making them more appealing to reptiles.

It is important not to overfeed. Mealworms are small insects, so their size should be adjusted to the size of the reptiles to avoid overfeeding or loss of interest in the food by the animals.

Proper diet

It is worth noting that flour beetles should not be the sole source of food for reptiles.

Always remember to consult a veterinarian or reptile nutrition expert before introducing a new type of food to ensure that the diet is properly balanced and suitable for the specific species.
