Wombaroo Insect Booster is fed to the insects, not to the animal. Crickets, woodies and mealworms are naturally calcium-poor and phosphorus-rich, which is the wrong ratio for the reptiles, birds and small mammals eating them; feeding the insects on Insect Booster for two to five days beforehand corrects that from the inside, and Wombaroo rates it as more effective than dusting insects with calcium powder at feed-out. At 9% calcium, with vitamin A, vitamin E and carotenoids, it works as a substrate as much as a food — mealworms simply live in a 50/50 mix of it and wheat bran. PeekAPaw stocks the 300g. Keep moisture available to crickets on a wet sponge rather than in a dish, so they do not drown.Benefits of Insect Booster High in calcium – to ensure a positive calcium to phosphorus ratio in feeder insects. More effective – compared with dusting insects with calcium powder. Supplies essential nutrients – minerals, vitamins, amino acids (e.g. methionine), fatty acids (omega-3 & 6) and colour-enhancing carotenoids. IngredientsWheat pollard, calcium carbonate, soy & whey protein isolates, methionine, vegetable oils, omega-3 & omega-6 fatty acids, carotenoids, vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B9, B12, C, D3, K, biotin, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, magnesium, zinc, iron, manganese, copper, iodine, selenium.Typical Analysis Protein 18% Fat 5% Moisture 8% Calcium 9% Vitamin A 45,000 IU/kg Vitamin E 1,600 mg/kg Carotenoids 180 mg/kg Feeding GuidelinesCrickets & woodies: feed Insect Booster as a dry powder in a shallow bowl or plate. For best results, supply it as the sole food to the insects for 2–5 days before feeding them out. Moisture should always be available and can be supplied as a piece of wet sponge or other absorbent material to avoid drowning.Mealworms: make a 50/50 mixture of Insect Booster with wheat bran and use it as the substrate the mealworms live in.
