Fruit Beetle Grubs 20-35mm

Pachnoda grubs — commonly known as fruit beetle grubs — are a well-established treat feeder for large reptiles and amphibians. Gut-loaded before packing and dispatched directly from the breeder, these pre-packs arrive in the best possible condition for your animal.

Nutritional Profile

Fruit beetle grubs are notably high in fat, which makes them an excellent occasional treat rather than a staple feeder. Offer them once or twice a week alongside a balanced diet to add variety and stimulation without overloading your animal with lipids. Their size makes them particularly well-suited to larger species that need a more substantial prey item.

Suitable Species

Pachnoda grubs are a practical choice for keepers of larger lizards and some amphibians. They work especially well for:

• Bearded Dragons
• Blue Tongue Skinks
• Monitor Lizards
• Pacman Frogs

Packaging and Delivery

Grubs arrive in a ventilated plastic tub with small air holes along the sides to maintain airflow while keeping them securely contained. Seasonal adjustments are made during transit — additional box perforations in warmer months and heat packs in colder months help ensure the grubs arrive in good condition regardless of the time of year.

Keeping Your Grubs in Top Condition

Store Pachnoda grubs at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and draughts. Continue feeding them fresh leafy greens, carrots, squash, or sweet potato right up until use — well-fed grubs deliver meaningfully better nutrition to your reptile. Remove any uneaten food daily to prevent mould and keep the housing clean. Avoid overcrowding and provide enough substrate depth for burrowing behaviour.
