Blue River Diets - Fruit & Bug

Combine the irresistible sweetness of real tropical fruit with the natural power of insect protein in Fruit & Bug, a complete and balanced staple diet for Crested Geckos and all fruit-eating reptiles. Blending ripe banana, sweet mango, and calcium-rich Black Soldier Fly Larvae with bee pollen, honey, and gut-supporting postbiotics, this recipe delivers bulk-building nutrition, smooth energy, and complete everyday vitality.

Why Your Geckos Will Love It

• Real Fruit & Insect Fusion: Formulated with 49% real dried fruit (34% banana, 15% mango) and 15% nutrient-rich Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL) powder for natural aroma and optimal palatability.
• Bulk-Building Protein: Sourced from whole BSFL and soya protein isolate to provide a comprehensive amino acid profile that fuels healthy growth, lean muscle development, and breeding condition.
• Bee Pollen & Honey Vitality: Naturally infused with pure bee pollen and honey powder to deliver B-vitamins, trace minerals, and sweet floral aromatics that stimulate a strong feeding response.
• Postbiotic Digestive Support: Fortified with tyndallised Lactobacillus helveticus (HA-122) to sustain healthy gut microflora and maximize nutrient and fiber absorption.
• Full-Spectrum Fortification: Enriched with balanced calcium, magnesium, vitamin D3, vitamin A, and essential trace minerals to maintain optimal bone density, healthy shedding, and metabolic wellness.

Preparation & Feeding Directions

• To Mix: Combine 2 parts water to 1 part powder and stir thoroughly. Adjust with additional water to reach your gecko's preferred nectar-like consistency.
• Feeding: Offer fresh food in the evening. Discard any uneaten portions after 24 hours.
• Storage: Keep sealed pouch stored in a cool, dry place. Prepared liquid food can be sealed and refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 7 days.
• Husbandry Tip: While Fruit & Bug provides complete baseline nutrition, regular feedings of gut-loaded live feeder insects are recommended for behavioral enrichment and physical exercise.

• Blue River Diets packaging utilizes the UK date format (Day / Month / Year). For example, an expiration date printed as 1/9/2026 represents September 1, 2026, not January 9, 2026.
