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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat It's Used For\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWheat 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGut-Loading and Colony Maintenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor keepers gut-loading mealworms, superworms, or other beetles and their larvae, wheat bran forms the foundation of the colony setup.
