Zoo Med Bug Balance Gut-Load Reptile Supplement is expertly formulated to address the nutritional imbalances of common feeder insects, ensuring a more balanced and nourishing meal for your reptiles! Most feeder insects have an imbalanced calcium-to-phosphorus (Ca:P) ratio, meaning they contain more phosphorus than calcium. This imbalance can contribute to metabolic bone disease (MBD), where animals can develop bone deformities, seizures, and tremors. Experts recommend maintaining at least a neutral ratio (1:1), and ideally a positive ratio (2:1) for optimal growth and breeding.
Bug Balance GUT-LOAD is a low-fat powerhouse of nutrition that ensures your reptiles receive the essential nutrients they need for optimal growth and breeding.
For best results, feed insects a high-calcium diet for 1–3 days before dusting and offering them to your reptile. This method enhances the nutritional value of the insects.
Pair Bug Balance with our new calcium-fortified Cricket Boost Hydrating Jelly and dust insects with ReptiCalcium® or ReptiVite™ as needed for a complete feeding regimen.
