per item
I will part with a small portion of my dermestid beetles, so that you may start your own colony if you like. Or, they make a great clean up crew if you grow your own insect / feeder colonies! They eat up dead crickets and roaches just as well as flesh off a skull.
My colony compromises mostly of the species Dermestes maculatus (the best in the business), but also may have some residual Dermestes ater (less efficient, but still gets the job done!). Maculatus will out-compete Ater over time.
*Prices subject to change depending on availability (size of my current colony)*
CLEAN UP CREW- a small amount of beetles and larva. A few dozen or so. Put directly into the enclosure you want to have cleaned up. NOT RECOMMENDED for skull cleaning, this would take a year+ in ideal conditions to establish a colony that large. For shipping, please select USPS Small.
STARTER Colony- a few hundred beetles and larva. This should be enough to clean a prepped mouse in a few days. For shipping, please select USPS Small.
MEDIUM Colony- a few thousand beetles and larva, depending on availability. For shipping, please select USPS Small.
STARTER Colony Kit- this will be the same as the STARTER Colony but I will include a few items you'll need to get started. Some substrate, nesting/burrowing materials (different depending on availability) and a starter meal. All you will need to provide is the enclosure they will live in. Materials provided should house the colony just fine in anything from a small tub to a 10 or 20 gallon tank. For shipping, please select USPS Medium.
