Grasshoppers are a natural prey for larger reptiles and birds because they provide a high source of protein and essential amino acids. Because farm raised live grasshoppers are not available, Fluker's Freeze Dried Grasshoppers are a great alternative to help diversify pet's diet. The diversification of your pet's diet increases the overall nutritional quality of the diet and reduces the likelihood of developing life threatening diseases. Fluker's Freeze Dried Grasshoppers can be used in combination with other Fluker's freeze dried products to provide your pet with natural prey items without the mess and expense of live prey.
