Fluker's Gourmet Canned Food for Reptiles, Fish, Birds and Small Animals, Grass Hoppers 1.2 oz

Bought these for my pet dragon. She loves them . Must refrigerate after opening . Good amount in the can so well worth the price, and they don’t smell bad .

This is my 4yo female Bearded Dragon named "Kermie". I raised her since she was only one month old. As seen in photos, she LOVES Flukers Grasshoppers. It is her favorite meal. Even though it's said Beardie adults should have majority Greens. Kermie barely touches her Greens. But she eats enough greens for variety. Her diet is almost exclusively these Fluker Grasshoppers. Plus I feed her Blueberries a few times a week. My Beardie is thriving & in excellent health. THANK YOU FLUKERS!!! Your product is amazing. I also use FLUKERS canned Crickets. But the Grasshoppers are larger & a better meal. I also have 3 other adult 4yo Beardies (one was born crippled & stunted). All raised since they were one to two months old. They all eat FLUKERS CANNED GRASSHOPPERS almost Exclusively. I sprinkle Calcium on these Grasshoppers as needed. The nutrients in FLUKERS have been keeping my Beardies healthy, happy & thriving. I also have a 4yo Leopard Gecko & a 3yo Pac Man Frog. Both I raised from three months old. They both also thrive on these Flukers Grasshoppers. All of them get so excited when they see these Grasshoppers. If anyone has trouble getting their Beardies or others with similar diet to eat these. I have them all used to eating from long Reptile Tweezers. So when you feed them these Flukers, whether it's the canned Grasshoppers, Crickets, Silk Worms, etc. All made by FLUKERS. Don't just leave these in a food bowl. I feed them a lot of Grasshoppers with Tweezers for each initial feeding. They all get into major "Predator Mode" when these Grasshoppers are introduced with the Tweezers. Especially if I move the tweezers around with one or more Grasshoppers on it. They all grab the Grasshoppers so happily & with major gusto. Then I leave the rest of the Grasshoppers in a food bowl in cage. And then my Kermie & others will eat until satisfied. Kermie in the photo is the most "Dog Like" Bearded Dragon I have. She comes out of her cage to eat. Kermie loves hanging with family members. And she loves hanging with my 3 dogs. She is also fond of our Guinea Pigs. She sits next to their cages & watches them for hours. It is FLUKERS that keeps my Kermie happy & healthy. Of course I ensure my little friends get water sprayed on them to drink. Plus bathing in sink. And proper lighting & substrate is needed. But add FLUKERS canned Grasshoppers to their diet. Use the feeding methods I mentioned. If yours aren't used to eating from Tweezers. If your little friends won't initially eat these from a food bowl. Start using the long reptile tweezers sold at most pet stores. Feed your guys their favorite treats with it. Don't forget that Bearded Dragons are Predators. You need to spark their "Predator Instinct". So many Beardies & Reptiles at first, may not eat these initially from a food bowl. So get them used to eating these Grasshoppers from Reptile Tweezers. And especially if you move the tweezers around with these Grasshoppers dangling from the tweezers. You will spark the Predator Instinct in them. And it will get them to eat these happily. Once your guys get used to eating from long Reptile Tweezers. You can then start feeding them FLUKERS CANNED GRASSHOPPERS from the Tweezers & then from their food bowls. FLUKERS canned Crickets, Silk Worms , Meal Worms, etc. Are all excellent. Try feeding all of these at different times, to add variety. My reptile family seems to mainly prefer the Grasshoppers out of the other Fluker canned products. But I have tried all the varieties of Fluker Canned insects & all are excellent. The cans come with a tight plastic lid that can re-seal. So if your guys don't finish. You can leave it for next day. If you haven't tried FLUKERS products yet. Or if you have, and you weren't successful with the feeding. Give my method a try. You can see from the photos. How happy my 4yo female Bearded Dragon "Kermie" is with FLUKERS CANNED GRASSHOPPERS. (I rarely leave reviews for products. But this review is well deserved). Plus I hope my review can help other owners of Bearded Dragons & other pets that eat insects. My photos show how happy my little girl is with these Grasshoppers. I hope others out there can benefit from this excellent product. As you can see. My Kermie loves her canned Grasshoppers by Flukers. THANK YOU FLUKERS!!

My Asian flapshell turtle goes bonkers for these. The instant one of these hits the water he goes into hunting mode, and eats it like h's received a gourmet dinner... except that he doesn't spend a lot of time savouring it. he just rips off the legs (which he doesn't ant more tasty than you find chicken bones to be). When I feed him one of these, I always have to fish legs out of his enclosure, because as much as he likes canned grasshoppers, he just doesn't care for the legs. He also likes live crickets and grasshoppers, but even with those he'll spit out the legs. it's no big deal to clean them out though, and I love to spoil my turtle every now and then. As in once a day. These are expensive, so you won't want to make this his whole diet. but it does make a wonderful treat, and with the resealable lid which comes with it, you can give him one to make his day, then close it up and drop it in the fridge. If you leave it out it will start to stink, which is fine by most turtles, but not so fine by most humans. The plastic lid seals very well, and you won't smell it until you take the lid off, but if you haven't refrigerated it after opening it and take the lid off two or three days later, Boy howdy! For your turtle's health, don't feed these in addition to his regular food, but rather to replace some of it. That is if you don't want it to die of gross obesity. Insects are a well balanced food for turtles, but as is true with most animals (including humans) too much of a good thing is a bad thing.

These canned grasshoppers are handy (and pretty cheap -- got them as a same-day delivery add-on) compared to, say, getting live crickets from the pet store. I like feeding my pets a pretty good variety of foods too, so I thought it would be fun to try grasshoppers. I don't think I'd buy them again though. My turtle (yellow-bellied slider) likes them, but I tried feeding them to multiple types of carnivorous fish (Oscars, peacock cichlids, other African cichlids), and NONE of the fish seemed to like them. They just sat at the bottom of the tank for way longer than I should have let them before scooping them back out. These same fish gobble up live crickets, but these canned grasshoppers must have enough of a weird taste/texture from whatever they're preserved with that the fish did NOT want to eat them. Also worth noting, they smell kind of barbecue-y. Slightly off-putting for humans (or at least this particular human).

Our boy loves these! Easy to store and keep. Very good quality for being canned. Preserved well. Very good value for the money.

Just opened these and they're molded, I can't feed these to my bearded dragon. Was able to give her a couple before I found the mold, very disappointed since I found something she would eat.

My Red Eared Sliders love to eat these grass hoppers. They go crazy for them. I only use them for treats, since my turtles are adults and should eat more vegetables than protein, so when I do offer them, they gobble them right up. I assume that means they taste great. They also don't leave a huge mess in the tank because they usually eat them in one or two bites.

The grasshoppers were the right size, the gecko loved them, but the only downside is that they mold really quickly. We didn't see a "refrigerate" label on them. I probably missed it. We made sure to refrigerate the opened container and after a few days they molded. We can't expose our gecko to moldy food, and there's not a clear way to store it for longevity.

Must say my beardie is a picky eater but she certainly did enjoy these!

They are great substitute if you don't have access to live foods. They will start to spoil once open but i just lay them out flat and freezes them.

yep
