Sold as pre-killed frozen pupae — no live insect maintenance required. Good for geckos that refuse other feeders or as an emergency feeder. Nutritional value is reasonable but lower protein than dubia or Turkestan roaches. A useful addition to the rotation rather than a staple. Cannot be gut-loaded (pre-killed).
