Fluker's Cricket Foods & Liquids
▾ Show Description ▾
Fluker's High Calcium Cricket Diet (Tan)
Manufacturer Description:
Fluker's High-Calcium Cricket Feed is a premium formula designed for "gut-loading" crickets to increase their vitamin/mineral content prior to offering them as prey to your pet. This allows insect-eating pets to benefit not only from the nutritional value of the insect itself, but from the insect's nutrient-rich gut content as well. Feed as the primary source of food to crickets and most other feeder insects. The insects can be maintained on the diet until the time comes to feed them to your pet. To ensure optimal nutrition and calcium intake, feed the insects to your pet on the day after they've consumed the diet. Feed should be stored in a well-ventilated, dry area protected from rodents and insects. Feed is perishable. Do not feed moldy or insect-infested feed as it may cause illness or death.
Fluker's Cricket Quencher (Blue)
Manufacturer Description:
Fluker's Cricket Quencher Original Formula provides crickets and other feeder insects with a safe, clean water source in a convenient gel form that eliminates the problems of traditional watering methods - such as drowning and bacterial contamination. Place a small amount of product in a shallow dish in insects' cage. Refill as needed. There is no need to provide an additional water source.
Fluker's Cricket Quencher + Calcium (Yellow)
Manufacturer Description:
Fluker's Cricket Quencher with Calcium provides crickets and other feeder insects with a safe, clean water source - as well as offering a good source of calcium for "gut-loading" insects prior to feeding them to your reptile. Place a small amount of product in a shallow dish in insects' cage. Refill as needed. There is no need to provide an additional water source.

Fruit Fly Media: NEHERP Original

Our best selling & top performing fruit fly media!

NEHERP Fruit Fly Media
▾ Show Price & Description ▾
A New England Herpetoculture Product
Our premium Original NEHERP Fruit Fly Media was precisely formulated to maximize the lifespan & production of your flies. Originally developed in 2010 and constantly tweaked over the years, our media produces extremely quickly, smells great, and continues to produce for a long period of time. NEHERP Fruit Fly Media requires no hand mixing or boiling water, so cultures can be built extremely quickly and without a mess. Each bag sold includes free active yeast (to maximize production & longevity), and complete instructions on how to build your own cultures. In our most recent testing of our V.4 media against 3 other brands, ours proved to be the best fruit fly media in terms of longevity & production for D. melanogaster flies. (It works well with D. hydei, too.) You won't be disappointed! Each pound of our media concentrate makes 10 large 32oz fly cultures when mixed to our instructions. The new Vinegar Sprayer (in-cart) option includes a simple spray bottle full of white vinegar, which makes creating even more effective cultures quick & easy. For best results, use 1/3 cup media per culture. (1.6oz media/culture by dry weight)

Fruit Fly Media: NEHERP Hydei Media

Our Hydei-optimized fruit fly media

NEHERP Fruit Fly Media For Hydei
▾ Show Price & Description ▾
A New England Herpetoculture Product
This media was developed on the backbone of our best-selling original NEHERP Fruit Fly Media, with extra protein, amino acids, and vitamins added to boost production rates. (No hand-mixing or boiling water required!) Like our Original blend, the Hydei mix produces extremely quickly, smells great, and continues to produce for a long period of time. Each pound of our media concentrate makes 10 32oz fly cultures when mixed to our quick & easy instructions. The new Vinegar Sprayer (in-cart) option includes a simple spray bottle full of white vinegar, which makes creating even more effective cultures quick & easy. For best results, use 1/3 cup media per culture. (1.6oz media/culture by dry weight)
Important: The extra goodies in this media which make it extra effective for Hydei make it far less effective for Melanogaster varieties. If you are looking for a single media to raise both types of flies, we'd recommend the original blend.

Mite Spray: Natural Chemistry Mite Spray

Our Favorite Mite Preventative / Miticide

Natural Chemistry Mite Spray
▾ Show Price & Description ▾
NEHERP Staff Description:
This is by far our company's most-used Mite Prevention Spray. Spraying paper towels with this product can create an effective "DIY Mite Paper", and we've used it to keep our Fruit Fly, Isopod, and Springtail cultures mite-free for years. This stuff works, and the only stronger product we carry for this purpose is the more commercial-breeder scale Provent-a-Mite.
Manufacturer Description:
Natural Chemistry Reptile Spray is a patented combination of ingredients that work in tandem with one another to "soften" the waxy exoskeleton of mites. Once the mites "armor" has been penetrated, its internal organs are saturated and the mite is quickly destroyed. Reptile Spray works quickly and effectively to eliminate mites from reptile and their environments. No Pyrethrins or Permethrins.

Mite Spray: Provent-A-Mite

Our strongest miticide solution

Provent-A-Mite
▾ Show Price & Description ▾
NEHERP Staff Description
Provent-A-Mite is a professional grade product. This is a long-lasting surface miticide, and should never be applied directly to any animals. This product is effective for 30 days after spraying a surface, making it a top-choice for keeping fruit fly & microfauna culture surfaces totally mite-free. Please be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions for safety, which are printed directly on the label.
Manufacturer Description
Provent-a-mite is the only patented, EPA & USDA approved product specifically labeled for use with all reptiles that has undergone more than 25 years of research, clinical testing and use to insure that it will effectively eradicate mites and ticks that feed on your reptiles. Unlike many other treatments, Provent-a-mite poses no potential harm to the host being treated when used as directed. No other product can make these claims! Continue reading...
Provent-a-mite is more effective and less expensive to use than other products to eradicate or prevent an infestation, with up to 4 times less required per treatment and is the only product proven to provide long term residual protection. Unlike all other products that stop working when or soon after they dry, Provent-a-Mite will bond to any treated surface and remain effective for up to 30 days or longer, continuously killing any potentially disease carrying mites or ticks. Once dry, Provent-a-Mite will not wash off and can be misted, wiped or washed without eliminating the effectiveness.
Simply treat substrate, racks, enclosure openings, etc. once a month as directed to kill any potentially disease carrying mites or ticks before they can infect your reptiles. With an application rate for Provent-a-mite of only 1 sec/ft2 compared to a rate of 4 sec/ft2 (4 times more based on manufactures label dosage rates) required with some other products, Provent-a-mite uses much less to treat an enclosure per application and will continue to remain effective for 30 days or more, making it less expensive than any other product to eradicate an infestation.
