{"product_id":"097612008623","title":"Zoo Med Cricket Boost Hydrating Jelly Cup .56oz","description":" Zoo Med's Cricket Boost Hydrating Jelly Cup prevents crickets drowning in water. Keeps Feeder insects hydrated, plus added calcium in a nutritious carrot base.\n\nCrickets 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.\n\nFeeding 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!\n\nCricket 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ccr\u003eZoomed 0.56Oz Cricket Boost Jelly Cup\u003c\/cr\u003e","brand":"Zoomed","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50924924076279,"sku":"09761200862","price":1.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0521\/9015\/0807\/files\/097612008623.1_1400x1400_85ae7a85-96d0-4b10-8167-594f5a9a50aa.jpg?v=1783532565","url":"https:\/\/shop.bensonspet.com\/products\/097612008623","provider":"Benson's Pet Center","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
