Best bang for your buck
I absolutely love this mix, the bugs love it as well. I have Dubai roach colony and they love this stuff. It will save you so much money getting this size as opposed to the box chain sizes that are way over priced. Best bang for your buck hands down.

Buy the bigger, 6# size for significantly less!!
I love this product, but you're all being ripped off! They sell this for roughly $10 for 6 POUNDS!! That's approximately $0.10 per ounce where by this 11.5 Oz container at $3 costs approximately $0.26 per ounce. If you like overpaying, carry on, if not, read below! Search for this "Fluker Labs SFK70008 High Calcium Cricket Feed, 6-Pound" and it will pop up. I hope you find this information helpful. READ ON TO HEAR WHY CRICKETS STINK (LITERALLY) AND WHY DUBIA ROACHES ARE THE WAY TO GO! I have used this product for a little over a year. I do not have crickets as I raise Dubia Roaches for all of my animals. The Dubias love this stuff. I simply mix this with fish flakes and the Dubias go nuts. If you still use crickets, I am sorry for your animals and for you. Think of it like this, feeding your animals crickets is like feeding your children toast with crushed multivitamins sprinkled on top. Look up the benefits of Dubias and seriously consider switching. If you have a stigma that roaches are dirty, well, you simply don't understand science. They don't smell, and you are dirtier than they are. Roaches are extremely clean if you keep them that way. Roaches have the stigma of being dirty simply because they like dirty things, but on their own, they are very clean animals. If you're worried about Dubias getting out in your house, look up on YouTube how to make a setup. In the past 20 years, I have transferred thousands of Dubias from their holding tank to the terrariums of my animals and not a single one has ever escaped. Best part, they are tropical roaches and will not be able to survive in the cold (temperatures below 78°F). When I had crickets(they were gone within a month), I would find them all over the house and they smell awful when they die. Dubias have no smell. Their food smells more then them. Beyond the smell, Dubias live for 2 years, crickets live 3 months tops! The amount of protein in Dubias is significantly higher than crickets, and beyond that, the ratio of shell to meat is better in Dubias. Crickets do not have much meat on them, and your animals have to eat a lot of them to get their protein. Dubias have a soft shell and much more meat. I have my habitats so natural that I am able to leave Dubias inside my animals cages overnight. I wouldn't dare doing so with a cricket because they bite. Dubias can't bite and they would much rather run and hide. I like this because my animals get to 'hunt' for their food. You will find what works for you. With my chameleons I have to hand feed Dubia, yet with my bearded/water dragons, all my Geckos (gargoyle, giant day, leopard), all my tarantulas, all my scorpions, I am able to place a few Dubias in each habitat and let the animals roam and hunt and eat when they want, the way nature intended. Making a habitat as natural as can be should be your first priority when keeping exotic animals. Overall, be smart about how you spend your money on products for your reptiles. There are tons of money grab products out there, and this is one of them if you buy it in this small quantity. Unless you breed your crickets, you're throwing money out the window constantly buying them. I haven't bought roaches in years as they breed and reproduce on their own IF certain conditions are being met (dark, 88°F, 50-70% RH). GOOD LUCK! I've been keeping reptiles and amphibians for over 25 years, so I hope I have shed some light on new ideas.

Boost Your Feeder Insects
### **"Boost Your Feeder Insects' Nutrition: Fluker's High Calcium Cricket Diet Review"** I recently started using **Fluker's High Calcium Cricket Diet** to gut-load my feeder insects, and it has significantly improved the nutritional value of the crickets I feed to my reptiles. This **11.5 oz** container is specially formulated to provide **high levels of calcium** and other essential nutrients that are passed on to your pets. Here’s my detailed review after using it for several weeks. ### **High Calcium Content** The standout feature of this product is its **high calcium content**, which is crucial for reptiles and amphibians that rely on feeder insects for their diet. Calcium is essential for **bone health** and preventing conditions like **metabolic bone disease**, which is common in reptiles with poor nutrition. By feeding crickets this high-calcium diet, I’m ensuring that my reptiles get the calcium they need. I’ve noticed a positive difference in my reptiles since using this product. Their overall energy levels and health seem to have improved, and I feel confident knowing that their diet is nutritionally balanced. ### **Complete Gut-Loading Formula** This diet is more than just calcium. It provides a balanced combination of **vitamins, minerals**, and **protein** to ensure that your feeder insects are not only healthy but also nutritious when fed to your reptiles or amphibians. The crickets I’ve fed this diet to are more active and healthy, which translates to healthier food for my pets. The gut-loading process is essential for ensuring that feeder insects provide maximum nutrition. By feeding this high-calcium diet to my crickets, I can trust that they are delivering the vitamins and nutrients my reptiles need for healthy growth and maintenance. ### **Easy to Use** **Fluker's High Calcium Cricket Diet** is incredibly easy to use. I simply sprinkle a small amount of the powder into the cricket container, and the crickets feed on it. It can be used alongside **Fluker’s Cricket Quencher** or other hydration sources to ensure that the insects are well-nourished before feeding them to your pets. The **11.5 oz container** provides a long-lasting supply, especially if you’re only feeding a moderate number of crickets at a time. The food stays fresh for a long time, and the **screw-top lid** ensures that the powder remains dry and easy to pour. ### **Great for Multiple Feeder Insects** While I mainly use this for **crickets**, it’s also effective for **mealworms**, **superworms**, and **other feeder insects**. This makes it a versatile option for anyone with a variety of feeder insects on hand. Whether you're gut-loading insects for reptiles, amphibians, or even birds, this diet helps ensure that they’re delivering optimal nutrition to your pets. ### **Improves Reptile Health** By feeding crickets a **high-calcium diet**, you’re directly improving the health of your reptiles. I’ve seen noticeable improvements in the condition of my reptiles’ skin and overall energy levels since using this product. It’s especially important for **egg-laying reptiles** and growing juveniles, who have higher calcium needs. This diet ensures that your pets are getting the best possible nutrition, helping to prevent common health issues related to poor diet. ### **Pros** - **High calcium content**: Ensures that crickets are delivering essential calcium to reptiles and amphibians, helping to prevent metabolic bone disease. - **Balanced nutrition**: Includes vitamins, minerals, and protein to fully gut-load feeder insects for optimal health. - **Easy to use**: Simply sprinkle in the cricket container, and it lasts a long time. - **Versatile**: Suitable for crickets, mealworms, superworms, and other feeder insects. - **Improves reptile health**: Helps support strong bones, energy, and overall well-being in reptiles and amphibians. ### **Cons** - **Requires additional hydration**: This diet provides nutrition but not hydration, so you’ll still need a separate source of water, such as **Fluker’s Cricket Quencher**. - **Powder can be a bit messy**: If spilled, the powder can be slightly messy, but it’s easy to clean up. ### **Final Thoughts** **Fluker's High Calcium Cricket Diet** is a must-have for anyone feeding crickets or other feeder insects to their reptiles or amphibians. Its **high calcium content** and **balanced nutrition** help ensure that your pets are getting the essential vitamins, minerals, and calcium they need for **strong bones** and **overall health**. If you’re looking for an easy way to **gut-load** your feeder insects and improve the nutrition of your reptiles, I highly recommend **Fluker's High Calcium Cricket Diet**. It’s a simple, effective solution for boosting the health and vitality of both your feeder insects and your pets.

If you breed feeder insects like crickets, roaches, mealworms, or superworms, or if you buy in bulk, this cricket food a must. At 12-13 dollars dollars for a 6 pound jar, the value is unbeatable. It costs half as much as buying the smaller containers of flukers cricket food. As for the cricket food itself, it's great. My crickets love it, and I have very few dead crickets showing up in the cage. There is some leftover substance that the crickets don't eat, but it's not much. If you feed your crickets too much, they tend to become picky and leave more of the scrap behind. This is a complete, calcium-fortified cricket diet so you can give your crickets this plus water and leave it at that. Super simple. This stuff is gut-loading food, meaning your reptiles or amphibians will get lots of nutrients from eating insects that are fed with this food. I've heard it also works well for dubia roaches and mealworms. I breed crickets and I'm still not even a quarter of the way through this jar after several months. But it's staying fresh, so no worries about that here. I definitely recommend this product if you breed or buy feeder insects in bulk.
