Hi-Cal Cricket MonsterDiets™ 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 effect the health of your cricket colony, but also limit the nutritional quality of the feeder insects. 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 MonsterDiets™ is supplemented with dietary calcium and other needed nutrients identified by leading zoo nutritionists and veterinarians.

Why feed MonsterDiets™ Cricket food?

  • High calcium content eliminates the need to dust with messy mineral supplements.
  • More economical than diets with higher water content.
  • Provides beneficial vitamins and minerals to insect eating pets fed crickets.
  • Supplemented with Vitamin D3 to help compensate for limited natural light exposure when fed to insect eating pets.
  • However, additional UV light is still recommended for reptiles.
  • Finely ground to increase intake by crickets of all sizes including pinheads.
  • All natural diet. Contains no artificial flavors or colors.
