Broad Wheat Bran Bulk 15kg – Invertebrate Substrate & Feed

Broad wheat bran is a staple substrate and nutritional feed for feeder invertebrates, widely used by reptile keepers to maintain and gut-load colonies of mealworms, locusts, crickets, and similar livefood. This 15kg bulk format is suited to keepers running large or multiple colonies, reducing the frequency of reordering and keeping your livefoods well-fed and in good condition.

What It's Used For

Wheat bran serves a dual purpose in invertebrate husbandry: it acts as a dry bedding substrate that keeps humidity low and discourages mould, and it provides a carbohydrate-rich food source that sustains feeder insects between gut-loading sessions. Healthier, well-fed livefoods pass on better nutritional value to the reptiles or amphibians consuming them.

Gut-Loading and Colony Maintenance

For keepers gut-loading mealworms, superworms, or other beetles and their larvae, wheat bran forms the foundation of the colony setup. It keeps invertebrates active and in good condition, and can be supplemented with fresh vegetables or dedicated gut-load products to increase the nutritional profile before feeding out to your animals.

Bulk Format Benefits

• 15kg bulk supply suitable for large or multiple invertebrate colonies
• Dry bran substrate helps reduce excess moisture and limit mould growth
• Suitable for mealworms, waxworms, locusts, crickets, and similar feeder species
• Store in a cool, dry location in a sealed container to maintain freshness

Keeping a consistent supply of quality bran substrate is one of the simplest ways to maintain healthy livefood colonies and, in turn, improve the diet of the reptiles and invertebrates in your care.
