Maybe im just being paranoid. But i was feeding my bearded dragon crickets. I usually gutload them with flukers high calcium feed and i think some of them must of been eating some or just nearby it or something. And my beardie maybe ate a small amount of it. Is this harmful to my bearded dragon? Hes never had problems with compaction before or anything like that. But im just wondering. I dont want him to get sick..Plz help!!
Designed for gut-loading crickets to increase their vitamin/mineral content prior to offering them as prey, Fluker's Cricket Feed allows insect-eating pets to benefit from the nutritional value of the insect itself,and from the insect's nutrient-rich gut contents as well.
Feeding Directions:
Feed as the primary source of food to crickets and most other feeder insects. The insects can be maintained on the diet until the time comes to feed them to your pet. To ensure optimal nutrition and calcium intake, feed the insects to your pet on the day after they have consumed the diet. Store in a cool, dry place. No refrigeration needed.
Mine has ate some to before and i have not seen any problems. If ya think about they are eating it anyway, your feeders are just carrying it rather then you dragon eating it out right.
Crickets don't instantly metabolize food when they eat it (hence gut load)... the food sits in their gut and your reptile eats it, indirectly eating the cricket food. He's fine.
