Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL) are a nutritious and sustainable treat for reptiles, chickens, ducks, and other poultry. Rich in protein and calcium, these live larvae provide essential nutrients while encouraging natural foraging behavior.
The high concentration of calcium is great for beak, feather and egg strength in poultry and bone strength in reptiles. Research shows that BSFL can reduce risk of Metabolic Bone Disease (MBD) in reptiles.
Our larvae are raised on fruit and vegetables collected from the farm gate that can't be sold or donated. They are farmed in a dedicated facility with environmental and other controls to ensure premium quality standards are maintained at all times.
Live BSFL are packed in clean bran and breathable calico bags to maintain good animal welfare during transit. We ship express post early in the week to ensure your larvae arrive in the best condition possible. Pick up is available from Nuriootpa, South Australia.
Benefits:
- High in protein (40-45% dry matter basis)
- Excellent source of calcium - no need to calci-dust
- Promotes natural foraging behavior
- Sustainable and eco-friendly
- Australian-grown
