Otherwise known as Australian wood roaches (Nauphotea cinerea), Woodies are one of our most popular feeder insects. Whether live, dried or frozen, Woodies are irresistible for chickens, ducks, reptiles, frogs and any other pet that loves crunchy bugs.
Nutritionally, Woodies have a balanced calcium-to-phosphorus ratio, making them particularly valuable for egg-laying flocks like chickens or ducks, that require strong shells and bones.
Woodies are also popular for their low-maintenance care requirements. A robust insect, they are hardy and resistant to many pests and diseases, which is important if you’re going to be feeding them to your flock. We believe in healthy food for a healthy pet, and Woodies make for a very healthy livefood.
The benefits of Woodies goes beyond just what’s inside them: as live insects, they foster natural foraging and hunting behaviours in your pets, encouraging physical activity and reducing stress in the flock. Chickens enjoy the challenge of catching these insects, which supports their mental well-being and promotes a healthy, active lifestyle.
At Nest Box Online, we’re all about making the health and wellbeing of your birds as easy and affordable to maintain as possible. So we make sure these nutritious Woodies are available in a range of sizes and quantities, to meet the needs of you and your flock. Raising tiny chicks fresh from eggs? We have tubs of Woodies small enough to fit into a chick’s beak. Maybe you have dozens of great big greedy geese? Well then a bulk pack of large Woodies might be what you’re looking for!
If you want to keep live Woodies on hand, they’re easy to care for and produce minimal smell and waste. We have a range of accessories that make keeping livefood easy: including insect apartments and containers, Fluon Insect Barrier to prevent escapees, and important nutrients like Wheat Bran, Woodie & Cricket Food, Gutload and Aquaload to ensure your Woodies are providing your birds the highest possible health benefits.
We even have preserved options like frozen and dried Woodies. These are a fantastic option if you don’t want to keep live Woodies, or even if you prefer the live option but want a backup option for when the live ones run out.
So now that you’ve gotten to know the humble Woodie, we think your birds and Woodies will get on just great. Order Woodies for your flock today. We deliver Woodies, along with all our other premium feeder insects, safe and healthy from our farm to your door, throughout QLD, NSW, ACT, SA and VIC.
