Gourmet Mealworms, Canned Food for Reptiles, Fish, Birds and Small Animals, 1.23 oz

This is my 4yo female Bearded Dragon named "Kermie". I raised her since she was only one month old. As seen in photos, she LOVES Flukers Grasshoppers. It is her favorite meal. Even though it's said Beardie adults should have majority Greens. Kermie barely touches her Greens. But she eats enough greens for variety. Her diet is almost exclusively these Fluker Grasshoppers. Plus I feed her Blueberries a few times a week. My Beardie is thriving & in excellent health. THANK YOU FLUKERS!!! Your product is amazing. I also use FLUKERS canned Crickets. But the Grasshoppers are larger & a better meal. I also have 3 other adult 4yo Beardies (one was born crippled & stunted). All raised since they were one to two months old. They all eat FLUKERS CANNED GRASSHOPPERS almost Exclusively. I sprinkle Calcium on these Grasshoppers as needed. The nutrients in FLUKERS have been keeping my Beardies healthy, happy & thriving. I also have a 4yo Leopard Gecko & a 3yo Pac Man Frog. Both I raised from three months old. They both also thrive on these Flukers Grasshoppers. All of them get so excited when they see these Grasshoppers. If anyone has trouble getting their Beardies or others with similar diet to eat these. I have them all used to eating from long Reptile Tweezers. So when you feed them these Flukers, whether it's the canned Grasshoppers, Crickets, Silk Worms, etc. All made by FLUKERS. Don't just leave these in a food bowl. I feed them a lot of Grasshoppers with Tweezers for each initial feeding. They all get into major "Predator Mode" when these Grasshoppers are introduced with the Tweezers. Especially if I move the tweezers around with one or more Grasshoppers on it. They all grab the Grasshoppers so happily & with major gusto. Then I leave the rest of the Grasshoppers in a food bowl in cage. And then my Kermie & others will eat until satisfied. Kermie in the photo is the most "Dog Like" Bearded Dragon I have. She comes out of her cage to eat. Kermie loves hanging with family members. And she loves hanging with my 3 dogs. She is also fond of our Guinea Pigs. She sits next to their cages & watches them for hours. It is FLUKERS that keeps my Kermie happy & healthy. Of course I ensure my little friends get water sprayed on them to drink. Plus bathing in sink. And proper lighting & substrate is needed. But add FLUKERS canned Grasshoppers to their diet. Use the feeding methods I mentioned. If yours aren't used to eating from Tweezers. If your little friends won't initially eat these from a food bowl. Start using the long reptile tweezers sold at most pet stores. Feed your guys their favorite treats with it. Don't forget that Bearded Dragons are Predators. You need to spark their "Predator Instinct". So many Beardies & Reptiles at first, may not eat these initially from a food bowl. So get them used to eating these Grasshoppers from Reptile Tweezers. And especially if you move the tweezers around with these Grasshoppers dangling from the tweezers. You will spark the Predator Instinct in them. And it will get them to eat these happily. Once your guys get used to eating from long Reptile Tweezers. You can then start feeding them FLUKERS CANNED GRASSHOPPERS from the Tweezers & then from their food bowls. FLUKERS canned Crickets, Silk Worms , Meal Worms, etc. Are all excellent. Try feeding all of these at different times, to add variety. My reptile family seems to mainly prefer the Grasshoppers out of the other Fluker canned products. But I have tried all the varieties of Fluker Canned insects & all are excellent. The cans come with a tight plastic lid that can re-seal. So if your guys don't finish. You can leave it for next day. If you haven't tried FLUKERS products yet. Or if you have, and you weren't successful with the feeding. Give my method a try. You can see from the photos. How happy my 4yo female Bearded Dragon "Kermie" is with FLUKERS CANNED GRASSHOPPERS. (I rarely leave reviews for products. But this review is well deserved). Plus I hope my review can help other owners of Bearded Dragons & other pets that eat insects. My photos show how happy my little girl is with these Grasshoppers. I hope others out there can benefit from this excellent product. As you can see. My Kermie loves her canned Grasshoppers by Flukers. THANK YOU FLUKERS!!

My bearded dragon's favorite thing in the entire world is a handful of live crickets. The hunt is thrilling and makes for a very active day...Sheltering in place without a car has made me appreciate alternatives that my dragon will eat. This is one of them, even though the crickets are no longer living. I must say, if you have not seen "canned crickets", for a first timer, they can be a bit startling. Size, texture, odor, wateriness...I will say and I hope I don't ruin this for you for the rest of your life, they are closest to canned black olives, juice and everything. Live crickets are dry...these are not. Also since they have been soaking in from my understanding themselves, and the "large" crickets I was used to feeding my lizard live were roughly over an inch. These are like scary 1.5" to 1.75" large cockroach sizes, but stinkbug would be more similar in color, size and well, odor...I would recommend opening the cans in a well-ventilated room. Having been vegan for many years, I value nonharmful lifeforms....so it was hard enough for me to feed live crickets, but I didn't want to deprive my lizard of its natural diet (accompanied with vegetables)...this is a WHOLE new level of comfort I needed to get accustomed to..legs and pieces of crickets all in wet stinky juice. My go to was a ziplock bag--when you dump these out, plenty of brown water will also be coming out-- even after freezing or refrigeration, the smell is less but very potent...All I can say is I'm so thankful the lizard is eating these, since the pellets I tried were treated with disdain and left uneaten. I have even been a return customer, since they are not as welcome, but consumed with the look of contempt....at least they are consumed...so I couldn't be happier about that essential part.

It's harder to get live insects when it gets cold, and my critters don't particularly take to dried as well. They'll eat dry, but I was excited to try out "wet" critter food. This is not good stuff at all. I purchased both crickets & meal worms. I was able to use most of the crickets, but half the can of crickets and the entire can of meal worms had to be thrown out. My first note is that they both smelled AWFUL, I know what live & dead bugs smell like. This was so much worse. It was absolutely disgusting. I raise flies and know what maggots smell like. This food smelled worse than maggots. Which brought me to the concern that because they were not dehydrated, that they were spoiled and gone or close to going bad. My suspicions were confirmed when, after just a few days, I noticed the unopened meal worms can was starting to swell. Luckily, I'm an adult and know that can swelling is caused by bacteria growth gasses building up and if I open that can it's likely to pop on me. I braced myself for it- and opened it and YEP- as soon as the slightest bit of push back pressure was on the top, there was a loud explosive poping noise and a bit of rotten meal worm went flying. (The pressure did cause minor injury to my finger, which I'm an adult and knew the possibility of that- but a kid who was given this for their pet may not know what to do.) Overall, this product was awful in quality and experience, and if you're looking for alternatives to live insects for your critters, go with the dried stuff. Most critters aren't used to their insects being wet anyway!

The beardie loves these. I didn’t wanna get a whole bag in case he didn’t like them. There was a good bit in there for the price definitely cheaper than going to Petco and PetSmart. If I’m ever in a pinch, I will definitely order these again.

I bought this product so someone could feed my lizard while I was out of town. There was good amount of sub-adult sized roaches in the can that were in great condition. My lizard ate them just fine with no problems. However, I will caution others in a similar situation that it has been very difficult to get him to go back to live roaches. The canned roaches have a much stronger smell so my lizard is basically looking for that now. However, in a pinch they were great for what I needed them for. I would definitely get them again should the need come up. The only issue was the liquid inside the can along with the odor. If that was reduced I would like the product even more.

Fish goes crazy for them

I'm givin' it 3 stars instead of 1 because I suppose SOME reptiles would eat this stinky rotten smelling stuff, but my young monitor lizards, who love insects alive or dead, couldn't tell these were supposed to be food and never touched it.

I got these crickets to feed to a baby swift that I had found, out of its nest. The can of crickets arrived quickly, which is good, but the baby refused to eat, so I didn’t know what to do. The can of crickets has a neat design, and the crickets are of good quality, still moist, etc. I usually deal with seed-eating birds, so this was new to me, but I used to take care of lizards, so I’m familiar with handling crickets to feed a creature.
