  • A great addition to mealworms- Peanut Beetles. Perfect for small reptiles and geckos. Easy to care for and breed. Everyone keeping small geckos should have a culture of Peanut Beetles - Just don't eat them!
    Great tropical fish food as well.

    Wow, this is amazing. They are basically miniature mealworms.

      YES! I just need to figure out a better way to harvest.

    Woww, why i just seen this video, this a good info, the creature that i need for my dart frog feeder, i think mealworm are easy to get, but they too big, and then, peanut beetle is just like dwarf version of mealworm, ok hope they're fit enough to geat eaten by dendrobates leucomelas froglet? Anyone ? But not problem, even if it just fit for adult, but most important thing is they're smaller and we can harvest the worm, not the beetle. Thanks so much, Sir

      Thanks for stopping by and watching. These peanut beetles should be kept by EVERY hobbyist that keeps smaller animals. GREAT food.

  • @bipolarchemist
    @bipolarchemist 2 роки тому +1

    It would have been awesome if you showed how you collect the worms. But these definitely look a bit more robust than (confused)rice flour beetle worms and both seem to be a lot better for feeding small terrestrial geckos than bean beetles...with the exception that bean beetles are edible whereas only the worms are edible here. It might also be nice to include/mention how one might responsibly dispose of a culture/colony should they no longer need it.

    • @SupremeGecko
      @SupremeGecko  2 роки тому

      Great points! I try to cover as much as I possibly can in these video but, in hindsight those would have been great pieces of info to add. Next time, contact me before I do a video so I can include everything ;) Thanks hmx.
