Convenient and Nutrient-Rich
### **”Convenient and Nutrient-Rich: Fluker’s Orange Cube Complete Cricket Diet Review”**I recently started using **Fluker’s Orange Cube Complete Cricket Diet** to gut-load my feeder insects, and it has made a significant difference in keeping my crickets healthy and well-nourished before feeding them to my reptiles. This **12 oz** container of orange cubes is designed to provide **vitamins, minerals, and hydration** to feeder insects like crickets, and here’s my full review based on its effectiveness and ease of use.### **Convenient and Ready-to-Use**The biggest advantage of **Fluker’s Orange Cube** is how convenient it is. Unlike traditional gut-loading methods where you need to provide separate food and water sources, these **orange cubes** are an all-in-one solution that offers both **hydration** and **nutrition**. There’s no need to worry about adding extra water or special foods—just place the cubes in your cricket container, and the crickets will have everything they need.The **pre-made cubes** are mess-free and easy to handle, and they take the guesswork out of gut-loading feeder insects. I find this especially helpful when I’m in a rush or need to travel, as the cubes can be left in the cricket enclosure for extended periods without needing constant attention.### **Vitamins, Minerals, and Hydration**One of the key benefits of using these orange cubes is that they provide **essential vitamins and minerals** to the crickets, which are then passed on to your reptiles or amphibians when they eat the crickets. Crickets that are properly gut-loaded offer more nutritional value to the animals that eat them, making this an important step in maintaining the health of your pets.The cubes contain important nutrients like **calcium, vitamins A and D3**, and other minerals that help keep feeder insects healthy and hydrated. I’ve noticed that my crickets seem more active and healthier after eating the cubes, which translates to better nutrition for my reptiles. The cubes also help prevent crickets from becoming dehydrated, which can often happen with traditional dry gut-loading foods.### **Hydration Without the Risk of Drowning**Hydration is a critical part of keeping feeder insects healthy, but water dishes can pose a drowning risk for crickets. The **orange cubes** eliminate the need for a water dish entirely, as they provide hydration in a safe, easy-to-access form. This reduces the risk of crickets drowning and keeps their enclosure cleaner since you don’t have to deal with spilled water.I’ve found that the crickets are drawn to the orange cubes, and they get plenty of hydration from them. This is particularly useful if you’re housing crickets for an extended period or if you live in a dry climate.### **Long-Lasting and Mess-Free**The **12 oz container** of **Fluker’s Orange Cubes** lasts a long time, even when you’re feeding a large number of crickets. You don’t need to use a lot at once, and the cubes maintain their shape and texture in the cricket enclosure, so there’s very little waste. Unlike other food and water sources that can spoil or become messy, the orange cubes are **clean and long-lasting**, making maintenance much easier.I typically place a few cubes in the cricket enclosure and leave them there for several days. The cubes don’t get mushy or moldy, which makes them more hygienic and less likely to attract other pests.### **Perfect for Multiple Feeder Insects**Although I use these orange cubes primarily for crickets, they work just as well for other **feeder insects** like **mealworms**, **superworms**, and **roaches**. This makes them a versatile option for anyone who keeps a variety of feeder insects on hand for their reptiles or amphibians. I’ve noticed that mealworms and other insects also seem to thrive when eating the cubes, and they remain well-hydrated and active.### **Pros**- **Convenient all-in-one solution**: Provides both nutrition and hydration for crickets and other feeder insects in a single product.- **Vitamins and minerals**: Offers essential nutrients like calcium, vitamins A and D3, ensuring that feeder insects are properly gut-loaded.- **Hydration without drowning risk**: No need for a water dish, reducing the risk of crickets drowning or making a mess.- **Long-lasting**: A little goes a long way, and the cubes stay fresh in the enclosure for several days without spoiling.- **Versatile**: Suitable for crickets, mealworms, superworms, and other feeder insects.- **Mess-free**: Easy to use, with minimal waste or clean-up required.### **Cons**- **Not a complete food source**: While it provides hydration and basic nutrients, you may still want to supplement with other gut-loading foods for a more varied diet.- **Cubes can harden over time**: If left out for too long, the cubes can harden, making it harder for the insects to eat them, so regular checking is important.### **Final Thoughts****Fluker’s Orange Cube Complete Cricket Diet** is an excellent and convenient solution for anyone looking to properly **gut-load feeder insects** like crickets, mealworms, and roaches. The **all-in-one formula** simplifies the process of feeding and hydrating your insects, ensuring that they are nutritious and healthy when fed to your reptiles or amphibians.If you’re looking for an easy, mess-free way to keep your feeder insects well-fed and hydrated, I highly recommend **Fluker’s Orange Cube Complete Cricket Diet**.

Could be better but not bad
Didn’t really get eaten as well as advertised.

Keeps crickets alive better than anything
After trying everything else (including potatoes, apples, wet rocks, wet moss…), I finally bought Fluker’s Orange Cubes. I also use Fluker’s cricket diet with calcium and a slice of apple changed every two days. This is the magic combo to keep feeder crickets alive. Before I was cleaning out 3-5 dead crickets every day. They drown in even the tiniest bit of water. But the Orange cubes keep them hydrated. Potatoes stink and attract gnats, apples alone don’t have enough nutrients. I still don’t like having feeder crickets to take care of, but this makes it so much easier. I keep the jar in the fridge, and put out a new cube about twice a week. Another helpful thing was to get a small cricket keeper with built in tubes a feeding trays (see the photo). I put some bark, folded cardboard, empty TP tube and a piece of egg crate. I haven’t found a dead cricket in days.

Crickets use them, but why do the cubes smell so weird! They stink the whole tub out! Lol keeping the feeders alive and thriving so it’s all good

The crickets love it and seem to be doing quite well. They polished off a small bowl full in 24 hours. I love the fact that this allows for me to gut load my crickets so that they’re a better quality meal for my bear die.

The crickets seem to love it. It lasts longer than I thought! I have it stored in the fridge to keep the freshness.
