last week I bought a bag of purina puppy chow. is it good to gutload the crickets? it have:
crude protein 27%
crude fat 12%
crude fiber 4%
moisture 14%
linoleic acid 1.5%
calcium 1.1%
phosphorus 0.9%
iron 200 mg
vitamin E 100 IU

in the ingredient part it say that it have vitaqmin e,a, b12 and D3
i am horried about what amount of vitamin A it have but i dont thing is much.

would it be good to give it to the crickets?

I have heard of people feeding dog or cat food to teir crix, but in reality it's wayy too high in protein. Feeding those crix to your chams will result in long term kidney damage or failure. Sticking to veggies and commercial gutloads would be the best idea.

Feeding that to crix for breeding purposes would be fine, they aren't being fed to chams and they get the protein they can use to grow like mad.

i already have the gutloading stuff made from premiumcrickets and i give them apple, green peas, romain, pumpkin ect
