Josh's Frogs Bean Beetle Food (1 Quart)

Bean Beetles make great snacks for Dart Frogs and other amphibians and reptiles that appreciate smaller prey. Made from quality Cowpeas, Josh’s Frogs Bean Beetle Food is an easy and cost effective way to culture Bean Beetles. The Bean Beetles will lay eggs on the surface of the peas. After the larvae hatches, it burrows into the pea and eats it from the inside out, emerging 4-6 weeks later as a mature Bean Beetle. Directions: Pour 1 cup of Bean Beetle Food into a 32 oz culturing container. Add 30-40 Bean Beetles and keep at room temperature. After 3-4 weeks you can begin another culture and feed from this culture. How to Feed: Bean Beetles like to climb; insert a piece of paper towel, coffee filter, or cardboard tube in the culture. Once it is covered with beetles, remove it and shake the beetles off into a feeding cup. Or pour the entire contents into a strainer and gently shake to harvest the Bean Beetles.
