Mazuri | Better Bug Gut-Loading Cricket Diet | 8 Ounce (8 OZ) Bag

I feed mealworms with it and they love it!!!

Our bearded dragon is getting up there in age and we want to take extra care to give him the best life possible as his senior years kick in. This seems to be just what the doctor ordered.I feed Dubia roachs...and trust me, I had to get a pretty deep education before my wife would even consider allowing me to breed Dubia in our house. I even had conversations with Ken, a professor/biochemist that has been posting research papers on roaches since 1966. I doubt I could have spoken to anybody with more knowledge than Ken. Why? The thought of intentionally having roaches in the house just freaked her out. Longs story short, roaches are such amazing scavengers because they have such a long digestive tract. A meal may pass through a human in a matter of hours, but a meal takes about 72 hours to pass through a roach. This means they can extract a great deal of nutrian before passing the meal out the back end. So, with this in mind, gut loading your live feeder insects is the best way to get the nutrian into your pet, at least for pets that eat the entire bug. I have no clue how it works for siders...? Anyway, I took a sandwich meat container and used a soldiering iron to melt small air holes in the top, my crafty daughter hot glued a large bottle top to the bottom so the water crystals will not tip over, and I use that to hold my bugs while I gut load. I put in this gut load, the water crystals, then sort the feeders and put them in the container for 48+ hours before feeding them to our bearded dragon, "Monster". If the nutrients contained are anywhere near what they have on the label, it has to be good.

I use this to feed crickets - they seem to love it!

Mazuri makes great products. Would have given this a five, but the package that I was sent was 5 months past its 'best used by' date. I was not too concerned as I was just feeding my feeder crickets and dubias. But come on Amazon, send products out that are appropriately dated for use.

Was suggested this food to gut load my Dubia roaches for my beardie. Never was successful on breeding them until i switched to this food, and a little bit lasts a long time (i also supplement with fresh veggie scraps).

The buck stops at Mazuri.. I just pour a little into my superworm containers a day or two prior to feeding with usual piece of squash or potato for hydro and they turn into bodybuilders overnight! Mazuri all day baby.

First off the smell of the food is awful, I was expecting it to be a tan color because we use this brand at my work (we get a huge bag of it) but it came in a black color. First week I used it everything was fine but after continued use, I started noticing my roach colony dying? I’ve bred roaches for years and have never had this problem. Their belly’s turned black, and this morning A TON of my roaches had died! Some barely alive on their backs from babies to adults. Again their belly’s were BLACK. I already cleaned most of it up so the photo I inserted is a mix of the food and dead roaches. I’m so upset and NEVER using this brand again. Almost half my colony died! They must’ve gotten sick and couldn’t digest it? I have a heat lamp on my colony so I know it wasn’t “too cold”. 100% was the food. DONT buy this.

Exotic vet recommended this as a complete supplement to be dusted on feeder meal for my lizard. I wish Mazura listed instructions to this though as I first thought it was the feed, and the full strength powder killed my crickets /:
