Cricket gut load

I made a recipe! Tell me what you think. If this works for you, feel free to share the recipe.

DISCLAIMER: I am a noob, but this is what I will be using. I appreciate feedback good or bad. My idea behind this recipe is to add some high quality dog food to give a protein boost and further fortifications like essential fatty acids, as well as fortify with calcium. I am not an expert, but I know the dog food I am using is some of the best stuff out there FOR DOGS. I purposely used a 10% canine formula overall so that its not loaded with the stuff. Try at your own risk :)

1 part-Nutro brand Ultra PUPPY formula (this is important for protein/fat ratio) as well as overall quality and included fortifications and plant matter. As a dog owner, this is the best dog food I know of. Puppy formulas are lean especially.
1 part bran (or substitute with dry gutload)
4 parts cricket crack (or other dry gutload)
4 parts fluker's cricket diet (or other dry gutload)
One small spoon of D3-free calcium (subjective amount)


STEPS:
1) moisten nutro brand Ultra puppy formula. Mash it up well.
2) mix in equal amount of bran and mash it well so the juices soak into the bran.
3) mix in a variable amount of calcium (you figure out the amount). Mix WELL.
4) dry under heat lamp for several minutes
5) mix in both parts of your favorite gutload, I used Fluker's High Calcium and Cricket Crack. Mix well.
