Bloodworm Mixture

Post by PhoEniX212 »

I have this "stuff" from one of the local stores called ReptoTreat delica bloodworms. It's bloodworms in a "nutrient rich" gel. But it has some strange named ingredients, so i'm not sure how safe it is. Here's the ingredients list-
Bloodworms (Insect Larvae), Soy protein Isolate, Xantham Gum, Fish Meal, Wheat Gluten, Wheat Starch, Fish Oil, Guar Gum, Ascorbic Acis, Inositol, Niacin, L-ascorbyl-2-polyphosphate (Stabilised Vitamin C), D-Calcium pantothenate, A-tocopherol-acetate, Thiamine Mononitrate, pyridoxine hydrochloride, Vitamin A Palmitate, Cyanocobalamin, Cholecalciferol, Manganese sulfate, Zinc Sulfate, Ferrous sulfate, Cobalt nitrate, Colouring Red 3.

Yesah, big list of lots of chemical words lol (wish I listened more in Chemistry at school and uni lol). I'm pretty sure some of the larger hyphenated words are long names for vitamins, but i'm not sure if i should really feed it lol.

Hm, just looked at the commercial food that i have here that I don't use lol, and it does have some similar names. Might have to feed them both to the butcher birds that come every lunchtime :D

I got carried away spoiling them too. It's funny how everything I bought them was several times more expensive than the price at which the pet store sold the hermit crabs for.
