Where do you buy your Black soldier fly larvae?

[Marila123]

hi all,

I am located in Brooklyn, ny and have been to several stores but can't seem to find BSFL. Anyone can suggest where in NYC I can get them or a safe online store?

Am I also wondering if I should keep sprinkling the crickets with repti cal since I've read the BSFL are high in calcium.

what size for a baby beardie to get? Read they can be quite small.

Thank you!

There are few vendors on eBay and Amazon that are great and have decent prices. You just want to make sure they are listed as reptile food and not housed in any type of manure. If the vendor sells other types of feeder insects and has positive reviews that's always a reassuring sign. I would do medium-large. The smalls are just way too tiny even for babies.

I would continue to dust the crickets when I fed them but not the bsfl. They naturally have plenty of calcium already packed inside of them

Rae Ann, thank you very much!! Do you have any particular sellers in mind? I would greatly appreciate it.

Am looking to purchase silkworms as well

I ordered my last batch of BSFL online from Mulberry Farms. I ordered 100 and got closer to 200, which was great! They deal mainly with silkworms. They were out of them at the time, so I ordered silkworm eggs. Now I'm raising silkworm larvae haha. They're super easy, though. Give them a constant supply of fresh chow, which MF sells at a good price, keep their environment clean, and you're golden.

There is a user on eBay that I have used in the past and was always very pleased with the product. His eBay name is symton and the BSFL they sell is grown by the Texas A&M University Entomology department. I think they sell 1000 for around $20. They also answer all questions in a very timely manner. Check them out if you get a chance

Thank you everyone! Is it safe to feed a size large to a baby beardie or another size?

 

[RaeAnn]

I would feed large since they aren't very big. I think a baby could handle a large BSFL just fine.

I've ordered BSFL from Rainbow Mealworms in the past. I get my silk worms from Coastal Silkworms.
