Have not tried it. Cant see any ingredient details. I worry about what "Intense protein and vitamins" means.
Anyhow you will still need to provide a source of hydration, which in my opinion is best done through fruit and vegetables. which means you are essentially going to be gutloading anyhow without buying premade stuff

lol i havnt heard "tha bomb" in soo long, haha thanks for the memories dude.
buy some cricket crack now from Steve, if he has some left. its cheap and definitely worth the little money it costs to get it.
It blows my mind that nobody uses Zeiglers Monster Hi-Cal cricket diet, this stuff is "tha bomb". If any of you guys out there have read "the panther chameleon" by Gary Ferguson, you should be using this stuff. After I read that book I jumped on the Zeiglers diet. Ferguson knows best! I trust what he says. Check It Out!

in my estimation, Dr gary ferguson is the quintisential guru of cham supplementation , if its something he recomends, then i am on board 100% -just for the record, dr. gf recomends some level of vitamin A acetate. not to contradict myself, but im not a big fan of preformed vitamin A either. ( but i do provide some in reduced qtys, just in case and in part because dr. gf says so)

From that lilnk:
"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."
Would you really stop dusting with calcium if you're using this gut load?
