Tips for Choosing & Preparing Feeder Insects

♡ Variety is Key: Offering a variety of feeder insects to your pet ensures a balanced diet. Consider rotating between mealworms, crickets, roaches, and other insects to provide a range of nutrients.

♡ Gut-Load Before Feeding: To maximize the nutritional value, gut-load your feeder insects with nutritious food 24-48 hours before offering them to your pets. This ensures your pets receive the best possible nutrition.

♡ Dust with Supplements: Use appropriate calcium and vitamin supplements to dust your feeder insects before feeding. This helps prevent deficiencies and supports your pet’s overall health.

♡ Right Size Matters: Choose feeder insects that are appropriately sized for your pets. A good rule of thumb is that the insect should be no larger than the space between your pet’s eyes.

♡ Store Properly: Keep your feeder insects in a suitable environment to ensure their health and longevity. For example, crickets need a dry, ventilated habitat, while mealworms need cooler temperatures.
