Zoo Med’s new Can O’ Crickets are the latest in reptile nutrition and convenience. These feeder insects are cooked in the can (called “retortingâ€) which locks in the flavor and freshness while also softening the exoskeleton for easier digestion. Ideal for most lizards, turtles, fish, birds and small animals.

Comments: I have not heard of those problems before, but thanks. I used these when I was trying to teach Cricket to hunt and eat by herself. It worked well and she ate them no problem. Although if given the choice she will chase a cricket any day.

Comments: BEWARE!!! Most beardies love these treats. However, if stored in a hot warehouse or if any bacteria has gotten in during the canning process, this food can KILL YOUR DRAGON.
My vet says he says many sick beardies every week from bad or spoiled canned food. It almost killed my beardie. It made him so sick that I had to make an Emergency trip to the vet. By the time we got there, my beardie was almost dead.....finally after a lot of $$$$ in vet bills and 2 weeks of medications, my dragon recovered.
IS IT WORTH THE RISK TO YOU??

Comments: My beardie loves them I had to feed him by hand at first but now he will eat them out of a dish. Great for an alternative to live foods.

Comments: What can I say, they look awful to me, but the dragons go crazy for them, even the picky eaters. I donot think I would use or recommend them as a staple, but as a treat as I am unsure how well they are gutloaded prior to canning and if that degrades them any

Comments: Mike likes these too. The only reason I rated a 4 rather than 5 is that he prefers the canned silkies. These crickects actually come in two different sizes so any age dragon can eat them. They tend to be plump and juicy and there is no need to chase down the uneaten ones. Simply discard them with the old salad at the next feeding. Only draw back is that it does take a bit of time hand feeding before a dragon realizes that it's food.

Comments: Not something i would even consider for derek. too risky in my opinion, you dont know weather they have been gutloaded properley, weather they had good living conditions prior to being killed, and also the preservatives that have been used..

Comments: These are the best for people who don't like to keep live crickets around (like me). If you start your beardie on them right away, they love them. They also have the moisture locked in to keep your beardie hydrated.

Comments: My beardie seems to like them, but not as much as the live thing. He will only eat them if I hand feed them to him and make them move a little. They might work better with a vibrating dish.
