ZM Cricket Boost

Crickets are one of the best feeder insect choices for your pet reptile: They’re high in protein, low in fat, and conveniently available at nearly every pet store! However, they’re low in calcium and can be hard to keep alive at home.

Feeding crickets a high-calcium, dry diet for 1-3 days (”gut-loading”) is the gold standard for improving their calcium content to at least a 1:1 calcium-to-phosphorus ratio (Ca:P). However, crickets need to stay hydrated to survive this gut-loading process. Reptile nutritionists advise against offering fresh fruit, vegetables, or the typical fruit-based jelly cups because they are more appealing than a high-calcium gut-load diet and can further dilute the insect’s nutritional value. After countless tests, trials, and formulas, we developed a calcium-fortified hydrating jelly that complements gut-loading, rather than detracting from it!

Pair Cricket Boost with our new Bug Balance Gut-Load diet and dust feeder insects with supplements as usual. Cricket Boost is a high-moisture, calcium-fortified jelly that was designed to complement a dry gut-load diet. Due to its high calcium content (1% AF, 8% DM), it can help improve the Ca:P ratio of feeder insects on its own; however, a high-moisture diet has its limits and cannot offer the same potency of other trace nutrients in a concentrated dry gut-load diet.

Brian Solomon

Personally my favorite reptile store. I don't typically buy any animals from pet shops but I do buy my feeders and reptile merchandise here. I like coming here mainly due to the staff. The girls that work there are always friendly and welcome my constant chatting. I like talking about the hobby as I keep so many reptiles. I have been to places that really don't have the time to talk. It's kept me coming back. The place is clean, stocked with tons of things we all need and really it's a great place all around to even just visit. Keep up the fantastic work all.

I ordered a Male Veiled Translucent Chameleon and 100 crickets from All Reptiles. Their packaging and Super fast shipping to Calgary are A+ top notch! Everything arrived alive and healthy and happy. Karen their reptile specialist was very friendly and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a pet reptile anywhere in Canada. He is already starting his first shed with me and growing fast.

We spent 2 hours with David, he was super helpful, purchased critter cage, natural materials for the space with a leopard gecko (molten lavender). 1000 live crickets and everything needed to get our new pet Queso set up. They also do boarding services, so no worries about a solution for our new friend if we go away. Our 11 year old daughter is so happy with the new addition to our family!
