Anyone use Cricket Yummies?

[ChrisnLisa]

Does anyone use the product Cricket Yummies to gutload? We recently bought a box and the crickets seem to love it. It is a green paste type product that is supposed to supply a lot of vitamins and nutrients. Just wondering if anyone has experience using it or anything they may have heard about this product. Thanks!

I have looked at it in the store.
I don't think it should be considered a complete gut load, but could be used to provide moisture and some additional nutrients.

i think it is considered a complete gut-load sometimes i would mix calcium into the cricket yummies so the crickets get calcium and when the chameleon eats the crickets they get it as well


they have been working really good for me so far

Of course it's "considered" a complete gut load.
As a consumer you have to read the ingredients and do a bit of research.
Compare what it has to offer to what you want to feed your insects.
In my opinion, it wouldn't hurt to use it ... but, the diet would need to be otherwise enhanced.

I would agree with Brad. I bought that stuff once when I got my first cham. Not saying its bad but you do need more to go with it. I use cricketfood.com cricket gutload. It has over 30 different ingredients. I would call that complete. I alternate fresh greens like collards, kale, endive, and dandelion greens for a little more nutrition and to hydrate the crickets. Lots of people use this on the forum and it isnt that much more expensive than cricket yummies also you get tons more too.

true but it sais that there is 37 vitamins and minerals in the cricket food and on top of that it takes care of their water at the same time
