Crickets, Mealworms and Fruit Flies for Delicious and Nutritious Meals
Just as indulging on your favorite types of foods and snacks can brighten up your day, your pet herp’s favorite insects and worms can do the same for him. While the reptile food that you feed to your Leopard Gecko or Inland Bearded Dragon may satisfy his nutritional needs, there are live insects and worms, such as mealworms and waxworms available to supplement and add variety to their regular meals. Live worms don’t only serve as a good source of protein for various species of herps, but mealworms and superworms also help to keep pet reptiles stimulated as they encourage reptilian stalking behaviors. In addition to live worms, a variety of reptiles enjoy hunting and eating live insects, such as crickets, which are also high in protein, as well as other essential vitamins and minerals. As crickets and other types of insects are faster moving than most worms, they tend to incite you’re herp’s innate hunting behaviors and keep them active. Meanwhile, there are Flightless Fruit Flies available to satisfy almost any herp craving. Whether you want to be fascinated by your pet reptile’s hunting skills or simply add some variety to his regular meals, provide your herp with various live worms, crickets and fruit flies today.
Available in a variety of sizes, ranging from a tiny pinhead-sized cricket to an adult cricket, there are cases of crickets available in varying quantities to provide your herps with the natural source of nutrients and irresistible crunch they crave. For keeping your crickets hydrated, there is Fluker’s Cricket Quencher, which provides them with a clean and safe source of water, and Zilla Gut Load Cricket Drink with Calcium, which not only hydrates them but increases their calcium content. There are also Zilla Cricket Water Pillows that helps to keep them alive longer.
Available in two sizes, Flightless Fruit Flies make for a tasty and nutritious snack for practically any insect-eating reptile. There are also tiny arthropods known as Springtails, which make for an excellent meal for smaller herp insectivores, such as baby geckos and baby froglets. Meanwhile, there are mealworms ranging in four lengths, plump and tender waxworms and gigantic superworms available that make for a hearty, protein-rich food for your herps. Whether you have a baby bearded dragon or an adult chameleon, provide him with food that has the complete nutrition he needs along with live insects and worms he craves.
