Top 10 FAQs for Fluker's Grub Bag Treat for Tortoises and Other Herbivores:
What is Fluker's Grub Bag Treat for Herbivores?
It’s a blend of dried insects (like black soldier fly larvae) designed as a protein-packed treat for tortoises and other primarily herbivorous reptiles that may benefit from occasional animal protein.
Can tortoises eat insects?
Yes—in moderation. While tortoises are mostly herbivores, some species (like red-footed or young sulcatas) may occasionally eat insects in the wild. This treat mimics that natural behavior.
Is this a full meal or a supplement?
This is a supplemental treat, not a complete diet. It should be offered occasionally alongside a variety of leafy greens, vegetables, and other fiber-rich foods.
How should I serve the Grub Bag Treat?
How should I serve the Grub Bag Treat?
How often should I offer this to my tortoise?
1–2 times per week in small amounts is plenty. Too much animal protein can upset a tortoise’s digestion or long-term health.
Is this suitable for all tortoise species?
It’s best for omnivorous or opportunistic herbivores, such as red-footed, yellow-footed, and young sulcatas. Always research your tortoise species’ dietary needs before feeding.
Do I need to refrigerate the bag after opening?
No refrigeration needed. Just reseal the bag and store it in a cool, dry place.
My tortoise isn’t eating the insects. What should I do?
That’s okay! Not all tortoises will accept dried insects right away. Try rehydrating them or mixing with their favorite greens to encourage interest.
What are the benefits of feeding insects to herbivores?
Insects provide a natural source of calcium, protein, and fat—especially black soldier fly larvae, which are high in calcium. Occasional treats can support growth, shell development, and enrichment.
Can other herbivorous reptiles eat this treat too?
Yes! This treat is also suitable for box turtles, uromastyx (with care), and other reptiles that eat mostly plants but may occasionally consume insects.
