This ProBugs pack suits keepers of bearded dragons, leopard geckos, crested geckos, tree frogs, fire-bellied toads, newts, hedgehogs, mice, rats, exotic birds and carnivorous aquarium fish. It is a fresh, soft-bodied feeder insect offered as an alternative to dried or hollow-shelled feeders.
Why it matters
- Soft, fresh body: the larvae are sold fresh and soft, with no dried or empty shell, so the feeder is closer in form to a live insect.
- Protein and fat profile: the supplier describes high protein content and moderate fat, which suits regular feeding in a varied diet.
- Calcium balance: the supplier states a calcium to phosphorus ratio of about 2:1, relevant for bone health in reptiles and birds.
- Sterilisation: the supplier states the larvae are sterilised to remove pathogens while keeping nutrients, which removes the parasite risk associated with live feeders.
