Welcome to all brave feeder bugs and insects... to this brilliant bug sanctuary! In this heavenly hotel, you will find everything that's needed for your short and purposeful life. We hope you enjoy your stay! The Livefood care kit provides a small temporary home for livefood that will, eventually, be fed to your pet Reptile.
Inside the kit, you will find many items that will prove beneficial in keeping the bugs healthy, nutritious and above all, tasty. It's a suitable staying place for crickets, locusts, mealworms and cockroaches. Within this handy little kit, there is a sufficient amount of Bug Grub and Bug Gel available in sachets, perfect for feeding the bugs and keeping them hydrated. More often than not, feeder insects drown when given water in liquid form, meaning that they never make it into your reptile's stomach. The more water a bug consumes, the better, as they become more nutritious for the reptile. This polyacrylamide gel contains pure, clean water, providing the insects with a drink but without the risk of drowning.
A small plastic dish has been provided within the kit to hold to Bug Gel, providing the bugs with a platform to stand on whilst they drink. Bug Grub is a complete and nibbly dry food, providing bugs with essential healthy nutrients, making them as nutritious as possible for your ravenous Reptile. A small bag of Calci Dust has also been provided, made from 100% pure and neutral Calcium Carbonate. Calcium is an essential element in a reptile's diet, strengthening and promoting healthy bones.
Many reptile feeds are low in Calcium, which is why it is important that they are able to consume Calcium in other ways. This micro-fine powder is easily digestible and adhesive, perfect for applying to insects or plants before feeding your reptile. Once the sample packs have been used, you will then be able to stock up on packs that are sold separately. A neat little kit with a lot to offer and incredibly easy to set up, the Livefood care kit will give your reptile his best bugs yet. Healthy bugs = Healthy Reptile = Happy Reptile. Bugtastic!
