Dried Insect Treat Assortment, 3-Pack of Grasshoppers, Crickets and Mealworms for Insect-Eating Animals
Dried insect treats add variety to treat time for insect-eating animals. This three-pack assortment brings together grasshoppers, crickets and mealworms, offering three insect types for sugar gliders, hedgehogs, wild birds, chickens, turtles, tropical fish and reptiles.
The insects are farm-raised, gut-loaded, frozen and then freeze-dried to maintain their nutritional value. They provide protein and store for a year or longer without refrigeration, making occasional feeding convenient.
Feed sparingly as a treat alongside a regular balanced diet. Offer treats two to three times per week or as a small portion below 10% of the main diet. If an animal stops eating its regular balanced diet, withhold treats until normal eating habits resume.
The crickets are raised in bedding containing approximately 4% corn. Compromised corn that develops mold can pose an aflatoxin risk; consider this feeding precaution before offering the cricket component.
