FAQs
How often should I clean the tank?
Clean the tank at least once a week, or more frequently if there is a build-up of waste.
How long does the Bug Grub last?
The Bug Grub's lifespan will depend on the number of insects you have and how quickly they consume it. Replace it when it is consumed or starting to look old.
How do I use the Calci Dust?
Dust the insects with the Calci Dust just before feeding them to your reptile. A light coating is usually sufficient.
What size kit should I buy?
The small kit is suitable for a few tubs of insects, while the large kit is suitable for more. Choose the size that matches the quantity of live food you typically purchase.
Can I use tap water for the Bug Gel?
It is best to use purified water to hydrate the Bug Gel to ensure there are no harmful chemicals that may affect your insects.
Where should I store the kit?
Keep the kit in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Troubleshooting
Insects are dying prematurely.
Check the temperature and humidity levels in the tank. Ensure proper ventilation and that food and water are consistently available. Remove any dead insects promptly.
Insects are escaping the tank.
Ensure the lid is securely closed. Check for any gaps or damage in the tank. Consider using a different type of tank if escapes persist.
The insects are not eating the Bug Grub.
Make sure the Bug Grub is fresh. Try providing a small amount of food to prevent waste. Ensure the insects have enough space to feed.
