Here at Canadian Feeders we have been doing in-depth research into what items would make inexpensive and high quality gutloads. After testing some of our findings we are proud to offer you three different gutloads available from us for your convenience. All of our gutloads are safe for mealworms, superworms, crickets and any other insect that can be gutloaded.

Please note that you should never feed your insects any foods that have been moulded over or kept in a moist environment. Mouldy food has been linked to many problems and deaths in otherwise healthy animals. You should also attempt to feed only what your insects can consume in one or two days to help ensure this does not become a problem. If culturing insects be sure to keep them in a well ventilated container to help prevent condensation and moisture from building up.

Bee Pollen
Fresh bee pollen has been used by humans for years for many reasons. Bee pollen is nature's most complete food, containing 22 elements and more protein per gram than any other natural food. It also has stress reducing and alertness enhancing properties in addition to being one of nature's best sources of complete nutrition. The same benefits humans have enjoyed for years can now benefit your pets! Canadian Feeders supplies multiple sizes of fresh bee pollen, either whole or finely ground, to be used as a gutload for your insects or as a vitamin and mineral rich insect dusting product. Try some today and we guarantee you'll be satisfied!
Ingredients: 100% Fresh Bee Pollen.

Canadian Feeders Gutload Mix
This high quality mix was created by us here at Canadian Feeders to provide you with a great staple diet for any of your feeder insects. After consulting with herp nutrition expert Edward Kowalski and testing several versions of the gutload we have finalized our formula to provide you with one of the healthiest gutloads available anywhere. In addition to being a gutload, our mix can provide food and water to your insects. Just boil some water and add one part of boiled water to one part of the gutload mix, allow to cool in the refrigerator and feed at your leisure. Do not boil the water with the gutload mix already in it or else the probiotic cultures will be eliminated. Also, do not prepare more then you can use in a couple days to ensure the highest quality feed. Unprepared gutload mix can be stored in a cool and dark place for maximum shelf life.
