It's listed here as a fish and turtle food, and the identical formula is sold elsewhere by Minibeasts under bearded dragon and blue-tongue branding — so it suits a broad range of omnivorous and insectivorous animals rather than one species alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFreeze-dried insect base\u003c\/strong\u003e — crickets, mealworms, black soldier fly larvae and king mealworms sit at the top of the ingredient list, ahead of the plant-based fillers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpirulina included\u003c\/strong\u003e — the same natural colour-support ingredient used in most premium fish and reptile diets.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShelf-stable pellet form\u003c\/strong\u003e — the same insect protein base as a live-food diet, without a culture to maintain or anything that can escape.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle 125 g pack\u003c\/strong\u003e — sized for regular top-ups rather than bulk feeding.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOne formula, several species\u003c\/strong\u003e — sold as a fish and turtle pellet here, and separately by Minibeasts as a bearded dragon and blue-tongue diet.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAttribute\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePack size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e125 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBA8886\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eForm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDry pellet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVendor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMinibeasts\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo barcode is currently recorded against this SKU in our system — ask our team if you need one for a purchase order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIngredients\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFreeze Dried Insects (Crickets, Mealworms, Woodies and King Mealworms), Soybean, Spirulina, Wheat, Vitamins, Minerals, Amino Acids and Antioxidants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMinibeasts hasn't published a guaranteed analysis — crude protein, crude fat, crude fibre, moisture and ash — for this pellet through any distributor or retailer listing we could check, and it isn't printed on the pack description available to us.
