The pellet foods are available in two formulas; Juvenile and Adult. The special juvenile formula is higher in protein to promote growth and the adult formula is higher in fiber to ensure proper nutrient absorption. |
Canned foods are a convenient way to feed insects. These insects (and snails) have been cooked in the can to maintain nutritional value, flavour and aroma. It also softens the exoskeleton of the insects for easier digestion and breaks the bonds between the collagen protein to make it absorbable by reptiles. |
