14 years Experience Breeding and Training People How to Breed Insects to Wildlife Parks, Zoos, Reptile Owners and Wildlife Carers….and even for Human Consumption !!
About Us
Our Back Ground
We started breeding insects for wildlife rescue which let us to breed insects to Zoos, Wildlife Parks, Reptile Carers, Wildlife Rescue Carers, Pet Stores and the General Public. This led us to develop our first website WildlifeHub.com (soon to be replaced with BreedingInsects.com) which trains people how to breed insects. As time went on, inquiries into insects for human consumption grew and we started to breed insects to feed fish in our aquaponic systems and businesses.
Currently our research is focused on:
- Breeding insects as a sustainable food source for human consumption (direct consumption or for aquaponics)
- Sustainable food sources for feeding insects and aquaponics (aquatic and terrestrial plants)
- Develop new methods to heat insect and aquaponic facilities using solar storage systems over a 24 hour period (without batteries).
- Trialing new production methods for private and commercial production of insects that require much less maintenance than conventional methods.
Our training and consultancy resources are used by some of the largest and smallest insect breeders (for edible insects and pet trade) around the world to improve the efficiency of their operations or to start new businesses. Working with hundreds of insect breeders around the world, has given us a unique understanding of the issues breeders face, and we are happy to share our information.

“I recently purchased Glenn’s ‘Cricket Breeding Manual’ which is based on his many years of experience in insect farming. It’s very informative as it brings together a lot of very useful practices in a level of details difficult to find elsewhere. This manual provides an excellent roadmap to someone looking to get into insect farming on a small scale, as well as good tips and practices to someone looking to expand their hobby into an income generating activity. Well done!
