Firebrats are a new live feeder on the U.S. market. Firebrats are related to silverfish. They require high heat to flourish. They will not breed at temperatures below 80 degrees and do really well at temperatures up to 105 degrees. The prefer the higher temps.
This video depicts a small breeding and rearing unit that I made to for our Firebrats. We keep them in coolers at high temperatures so that the heat and humidity are concentrated. Firebrats love high heat but they also like humidity, but they don’t like it wet.
We maintain the proper conditions using a heat lamp, a thermostat and some Cricket Crystals.
Reptiles, dart frogs, frogs of all kinds, fish and birds love Firebrats. We are in the breeding stages right now, but we will have Firebrats by the end of 2017.
We have been working on this Scaber morph. Porcellio scaber is an isopod that is usually dark grey in color. I first noticed a morph in some captive bred, dark Porcellio scaber which first surfaced with some orange and gray mixed. I isolated that morph and then breed them down through successive generations, always isolating for the desired colors we were looking for. That original morph created some interesting lines, like a dalmation line, orange line calico line and now this ghost Isopod line. The interesting thing is that the eyes are still dark. I have not seen a morph, in my supply anyway, that has pink or lighter eyes.
I just wanted to share our latest isopod breeding antics. We will have these for sale in a few months. We will also have some other cool morphs and Isopod breeds soon too.
We have been working hard trying to figure out how to breed the biggest fly maggots, get them to be hardy so that they a tough enough to ship and put on a hook for fishing bait and able to last so that you can feed them to reptiles, chickens, dart frogs or whatever you might feed our maggots to. Our chicks and dart frogs love our fat white maggots, but enough about me.
Spikes are the larva of the Blue Bottle Fly. They grow quickly and must be refrigerated so that they do not pupate before you need them to.
We will ship live Spike Maggots year round starting shortly.
Meet our masot, Spike in the video. He is actively breeding and ensuring that we have enough spikes to fill orders so that we not out of stock. I would rather not launch if we are going to be out of stock after launching a new product.
Been there and done that. You can see that by browsing our products. The out of stocks are up because demand is up but that is not the way to do business. Spike will see to that. 🙂
Please let me know if you have any questions about our feeder fly maggots or anything else.
Thank you.

One of the main questions that we get all year long is “How many worms do I need for my vermicomposting bin?”. Many people start their Red Worm composting bins using bins that they have in the house, or something that they bought inexpensively and they have no idea how many worms it takes to get their worm composter going. I have probably answered that question a thousand times over the years.
Now the work is done for us thanks to a site called http://www.howmanywormsdoineed.com .
The site allows you to choose 3 different types of worms and then input your worm bin demensions by inches. The site then provides how many worms you will need for your worm bin or worm bed.
The cool thing is that it is simple and easy and accurate. Check it out and let us know your thoughts. We will be linking to it on our site too. We have been give permission to link to the calculator below. Try it out and then squirm on over and get some worms from Wormman.com. 🙂
Grain weevils are pretty new to the feeder market, even if they are very old to the pest market. Mealworms, superworms, fruit flies, and many other feeders are also pests and they are used as feeder insects.
It has taken us 5 months but we have finally been licensed by the USDA to grow, breed and ship Grain Weevils. We have Grain Weevils for sale in multiple sizes, starting at 8 ounces and going up to a 32 ounce culture.
We have to ship in escape proof containers, with our permit in or on the box, and we have to provide a letter instructing customers how to dispose of their Wheat Weevils when they no longer want them.
These are a very interesting feeder. Our Darts love them. We have three different kinds of Dart Frogs and not one of them has turned their noses up at these weevils.
They also play dead. Grain Weevils will pretend that they are dead if you touch them.
Grain Weevils are easy to raise on wheat berries. We grow ours in plastic containers on wheat berries alone. They do not drink anything. We split the cultures every month and freshen the old cultures with new wheat berreies to keep the process growing.
We now have over a thousand cultures, and although I will miss them, it is time for our Wheat Weevils to find new homes. Give your Dart Frogs a snack that they will be talking about for days.
We are shipping 12 ounce cultures with wheat berries via Priority mail. You can check out prices and more information on our site http://www.wormman.com/.
They are so ugly that they are actually cute. Check out their snouts. If you would like to discuss Grain Weevils, then join our forum or email me.
