Flake Soil

Unfortunately, I can ship substrates to UK addresses ONLY due to the weight. Any overseas orders of substrate will be cancelled.

This listing is for Flake Soil (loose volume), which can be used to raise larvae into adult beetles. Flake Soil is essentially artifically decayed wood that has been fortified with nutrients. Flake Soil can also be used to feed other organisms that feed on decaying material, such as isopods and millipedes.

"Flake Soil" is the term for beetle substrate for beetle grubs that is being used in Japan to breed large adults for the past 20 years. This high quality substrate is suitable for feeding grubs, and can also be used as breeding substrate for egg laying of rhino/stag/flower beetles.

My Flake Soil is made from sterilised oak sawdust that has been artificially fermented my machine, with growth additives such as wheat bran, soy protein, trehalose, chitosan and larval gut bacteria. This is fermented at high temperatures for 1 month with mechanical mixing until the colour of the wood darkens, when it becomes ready to use.

This Flake Soil base is PURE oak sawdust, and does NOT contain toxic coco peat/coco husk which possesses no nutritional value for beetle larvae and causes an imbalance in the microbial content for the larvae due to the high salt and mineral content.

Unfortunately, I can ship substrates to UK addresses ONLY due to the weight. Any overseas orders of substrate will be cancelled.
