EarthPro-InsectiGold is an insect-rich whole diet for insectivores. This clever mix follows on from the ever popular OmniGold by delivering high quality, whole food goodness to those species that require a little more in the way of insect protein (over 40%).

This mix is perfect to use with species including the Bearded Dragon and many of the Chameleons but it can also be used with some Monitor Lizards, Agamids, Ground Geckos and some Amphibians.

InsectiGold is balanced with small amounts of bio-available plants, vitamins and minerals, our full spectrum Carotenoid and contains Honey, Bee Pollen and a Probiotic. It is the ‘Gold Standard’ for insect eating animals.

This diet has been specifically developed to help make up for the shortfall between the wild and the captive diet. It will greatly increase dietary variety and enable you as a keeper to provide for their ‘Wild-Like’ needs.

Feeding

InsectiGold is simply mixed with hot water and then left to set into a natural and easy to feed gel. Small amounts can be made up for daily feeds or larger batches made and then frozen to be defrosted as you need at a later date.

IG can be cut into cubes and offered in a dish, tong-fed or rolled into balls. Some species of insect-eating reptile associate movement with feeding. As such, balls of InsectiGold can be rolled in front of the animal where they will see the high insect content in the food and start to eat.

Reptile nutrition is a complex process containing many essential parameters. These include the ingestion of both food and water but also external sources of ‘nutrition’ being heat and light including UV. These core parameters of nutrition are also dependent on providing mental and physical enrichment. Therefore the provision of live feeders to activate wild-like hunting is essential. Make sure you provide well-gutloaded live foods to provide for the enrichment and dietary need of your pet.
