About Us
Fluker Farms has been breeding feeder insects for over 50 years, and also breeding reptiles for over a decade. We have used our breeding experience to give us the insight to produce quality, cutting-edge products for the beginner and the most advanced reptile enthusiasts.
Live Feeder Insects
Great For Many Pets
These insects are an excellent source of protein and are very easily “gut-loaded” with calcium and other important vitamins for your pets.

Live Hornworms
Manduca sexta
Hornworms are an excellent feeder treat for bearded dragons, leopard geckos, chameleons, and various other reptiles and pets. Their bright green color stimulates picky eaters, and they are extremely low maintenance.

Caring For Feeder Insects
Gut-loading
Hornworms are a great source of hydration, they are high in calcium, low in fat, and low in chitin. Our live hornworms are shipped in cups containing sufficient food to complete their growth within 7-10 days.
Temperature
For maximum growth, keep hornworms at about 82°F; however, they can be kept as cool as 55°F to slow their growth. To stop growth and maintain desired size and viability, place them in refrigerator at 45°F for two days and remove.
Substrates
Our live hornworms are shipped in cups containing sufficient food to complete their growth within 7-10 days. The 12-count cups have enough food to grow worms to full adult size, and the 24-count cups have enough to grow them to half their adult size.
Feeding Your Pet
Feeder insects should be no larger than the space between your pet’s eyes. However, Hornworms have an extremely soft exoskeleton so your pet will not have trouble digesting them.

Cricket – (Acheta domesticus)
A Cricket (Acheta domesticus) is an insect with distant relations to the grasshopper, and are found almost all over the world! They can range in size, but a Fluker cricket can get up to an inch in length. Pick the size that best fits your pet’s needs!
Superworms – (Zophobas Morio)
Superworms are the larvae of a darkling beetle, Zophobas morio. Not to be confused with giant mealworms, which are mealworms sprayed with a juvenile hormone, superworms are a great source of calcium, fat and fiber.
Mealworms – (Tenebrio molitor)
Mealworms (Tenebrio molitor) are the larvae of mealworm beetles and are an abundant food source for many animals. Birds, spiders, reptiles, even other insects prey on mealworms to find a high protein and fat source in the wild, and it is much the same in captivity!
Soldier Fly Larvae – (Hermetia illucens)
Soldier Worms, the live larvae of the black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens), are a naturally nutritious, protein-packed, calcium-rich treat for your pet. Their balanced Calcium to Phosphorus ratio is ideal for reptiles (without the need for dusting), and can help prevent Metabolic Bone Disease.
