What is gut loading?
Gut loading is a term used for feeding feeder insects high quality foods before feeding them to your animals. The basic idea behind it is that whatever goes into the feeder insects also goes into the animals that eat them. Crickets make a great feeder insect because they will eat pretty much anything being offered. Crickets should be fed high quality leafy greens like collard greens, mustard greens and turnip greens along with carrots, apples and oats or an oat based cereal before being fed to your animal.
