Feeding Live Food:
- While this product is an excellent substitute, feeding live insects helps maintain natural foraging behaviour and provides additional nutritional benefits.
- Ensure the insects offered match the life stage the animal would consume in the wild. Avoid excessive amounts of larval-stage insects (e.g., mealworms and fly pupae) due to their high fat content.
Recommended For:
- Small carnivorous marsupials, sugar gliders, bandicoots, and pygmy possums.
- Insectivorous bats, quolls, echidnas, and ferrets.
- Specialist breeders, wildlife parks, zoos, and carers of insectivorous animals.
Not Recommended For:
- Herbivorous animals or species without a meat-based diet requirement.
