What Is Flake Soil?

Flake soil is a nutritious substrate made from fermented hardwood and other nutrient-rich ingredients. It can be used on its own or mixed with other materials to create customized substrate blends for a variety of detritivorous invertebrates.

Commonly used for rearing beetle larvae and keeping isopods, millipedes, roaches and other detritivores, flake soil provides a valuable source of nutrition for many species.

Product Details:

• Quantity: 2 litres per bag
• Two available blends: Fruitwood and Hardwood
• Fruitwood Blend: Apple, cherry and maple
• Hardwood Blend: Oak, hickory, cherry and maple
• Can be used independently or combined with other substrates
• Suitable for a variety of detritivorous invertebrates

Fruitwood Blend

A 100% hardwood blend made from some of detritivores’ favourite fruitwoods: apple, cherry and maple.

Fruitwood is generally softer, higher in natural sugars and nutrients, and easier to digest for some invertebrate species. This makes it particularly useful for fruitwood-loving detritivores such as isopods, millipedes, roaches and certain beetle species.

This blend can be used on its own or mixed with our Hardwood Blend and other dietary substrates to create your ideal mix.

Although designed with fruitwood-loving invertebrates in mind, this blend is suitable for all detritivores.

Hardwood Blend

A 100% hardwood blend formulated with hardwood-loving beetles in mind, particularly beetle larvae.

Consisting of oak, hickory, cherry and maple, this blend is well suited to rearing popular pet beetles, including stag beetles and other species that benefit from hardwood-based diets.

Like our Fruitwood Blend, it can be used on its own or combined with other dietary substrates to create a customized mix.

Although designed for beetles, this blend is suitable for all detritivores.

Choose the blend that best suits your collection, or combine both to create your own custom substrate mix!
