Dried animal food

Dried Insects, Fish, and Crustaceans: A Practical and Care-Free Protein Stash

Although live insects remain the most natural food for most reptiles, dried animal food has an irreplaceable place in a keeper's toolkit. The gentle drying process removes only water from the food, while all important proteins, fats, and minerals are preserved. The result is a 100% natural food that doesn't spoil, doesn't escape, requires zero care, and is always ready to use.

Dried food is absolutely ideal for aquatic turtles, as an occasional treat for insectivorous lizards, for winter bird feeding, or as a staple diet for clean-up crews in bioactive terrariums.

From our wide range, we have selected foods that stand out due to their nutritional values or specialization:

1. The Nutritional Miracle called BSFL (Black Soldier Fly Larvae)

Dried Black Soldier Fly larvae (e.g., UGF Dried BSFL or Geckonia Insect Protein - BSFL) are a huge hit among keepers. They have a naturally perfect calcium-to-phosphorus ratio. This makes them much more nutritious than common dried mealworms and a fantastic source of calcium for reptiles and birds.

2. A Feast for Aquatic Turtles and Amphibians

For aquatic turtles, dried food is an absolute staple. The UGF or Dajana ranges offer everything these species love: dried fish of various sizes, shrimp, or the traditional gammarus. These foods float beautifully on the surface, stimulate the animals to hunt, and provide them with the necessary building materials for a strong shell.

3. Specialized Nutrition for Isopods and Bioactive Terrariums

Do you breed isopods or have a rich clean-up crew in your terrarium? The special Geckonia Isopoda blends are developed exactly for them. The Red Protein variant ensures fast growth and vitality thanks to animal components, while Green Health provides a balanced supply of plant nutrients and minerals.
