Bugs in the cricket food?

[Aloha808]

Hi everyone, I am new here....we just got a male jackson chameleon yesterday, and today when I opened the cricket food I noticed a bunch of really tiny bugs in it. I bought Zilla Gut Load Crickets & Insect Food. Is this normal?

BTW, our Jackson is doing great so far, he just ate 15 crickets!

Does it list the ingredients? If its high in grains I would be surprised if it was mites I would check out using a better gut load such as repashy super load or dinofuel and repashy bug burger much better stuff there's also really good recipes on here for homemade stuff if you just search around a little bit

Grain is the first ingredient. Yuck, guess I will be taking these back! I would make my own, but I just don't have the time, so maybe I will look into another brand.

Thanks for the advice and the welcome!
