$19.90

An insect-and-marine-powered, grain-free gel diet delivering a 44% high-protein baseline from Menhaden fish meal, whole dried egg, and black soldier fly larvae to provide a complete whole-prey ration for tegu lizards. This premium formula mixes into a firm, sliceable hydrogel that can be tong-fed to trigger predatory chase instincts and active tongue-flicking, supplying critical cellular moisture alongside high-purity calcium and fat-soluble vitamins to combat dehydration, maximize nutrient absorption, and safeguard against Metabolic Bone Disease.

1. Precisely meaure 1 part powder with 3 parts of BOILING WATER and stir quickly, not more than few seconds. Better use a fork.

2. Let it sit and cool at room temperature.

3. Cut into pieces and serve.

4. Prepared gel can be kept refrigerated for up to 2 weeks.

5. Start by offering a solid stripe of the gel using tongs or tweezers to trigger your Tegu's hunting instincts.

6. Once prepared, keep the gel refrigerated.

7. There is no need to supplement with live worms, insects, or salad cutting as the gel provides all necessary nutritional values.

Whole-Prey Marine and Insect Nutrient Completion: Establishes a standalone, 44% high-protein baseline diet driven by premium Menhaden fish meal, whole dried egg, and black soldier fly larvae (BSFL), completely eliminating the need to supplement with whole raw meats, live insects, or independent vitamin/mineral dusts.

Fish-Enriched Fatty Acid Delivery: Packed with highly bioavailable marine lipids and fatty acids from Menhaden fish meal that optimize cellular membrane fluid dynamics, promote vital internal organ development, and fuel systemic energy reserves during intensive juvenile growth phases.

Tong-Feeding and Hunting Reflex Stimulation: Once set into a firm, sliceable hydrogel, it can be presented via tongs in solid strips; the mechanical movement triggers the tegu's innate predatory chase instincts and highly active chemosensory tongue-flicking.

Grain-Free Gastrointestinal and Safety Integrity: Formulated entirely without grains, cheap agricultural byproduct fillers, artificial colors, or synthetic flavors, resulting in ultra-high nutrient absorption, optimal bowel transit, and significantly cleaner, lower-odor fecal output.

Systemic Hydration and Bone Prophylaxis: The water-retentive hydrogel matrix supplies critical cellular moisture directly during ingestion to combat chronic captive dehydration, while high-purity calcium carbonate paired with fat-soluble vitamins safeguards against Metabolic Bone Disease (MBD).
