Hi-Cal Cricket Diet
By vertebrate standards, crickets are naturally low in calcium and, therefore, are a poor source of this important mineral when fed to reptiles. Hi-Cal Cricket MonsterDiet is supplemented with dietary calcium and other needed nutrients identified by leading zoo nutritionists and veterinarians.
Hi-Cal Cricket MonsterDiet is a completely balanced diet developed for gut-loading crickets to improve their nutritional value prior to using them as feeder insects for reptiles. By feeding a high-quality cricket diet, your insect-eating pets can benefit from both the nutritional value of the cricket itself as well as the cricket’s nutrient-rich gut contents. Feeding a lower quality nutritional source will not only affect the health of your cricket colony, but also limit the nutritional quality of the feeder insects.
