Feeding Guidelines
Crickets & Woodies: Feed Insect Booster as a dry powder in a shallow bowl or plate. For optimum results, supply as the sole food to insects for 2–5 days before feeding out to animals. Moisture should always be available to insects 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 as the substrate in which the mealworms live.
