Obie's black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) are a nutrient rich protein and calcium treat staple for your customer's pets. Obie's live BSFL (Hermetia illuciens) contain >5500 ppm calcium, >50% protein (dry weight) and a Calcium to Phosphorus (Ca:P) 1.25:1 ratio which is near ideal for insectivores. BSFL also contain all the essential nutrients insectivores need. Obie’s BSFL are easy to store, they don’t chirp, and don’t require calcium dusting or gut loading. Simply have your customers give the larvae a quick rinse and feed them directly to their pet when they take them home, then store them between 10-12 ºC. Obie’s small BSFL are 5-10 mm in length and weigh between 4-6 mg. The small size are best for hatchlings, small frogs, spiders and other small insectivore species. Obie’s BSFL are locally raised in Halifax, Nova Scotia. We don’t import feedstock for our insects, we use pre-consumer organics from sources like local breweries, to feed and grow our black soldier fly larvae. The result is a protein that isn’t just sustainable, it’s also a nutritious staple for our insectivore pets and your customer's pets. Obie's small BSFL are available in the following pre-packaged quantities: 100, 250, 500, 1000
