It's not a very nutritious food (I very much dislike Flukers products in general) so I would supplement with a good variety of healthy veggies as well, so you don't waste your money, and then get a better brand of food. Or if you can return it, that would be better.
But excellent commercial gut-loads include:
Cricket crack
Dino fuel
Bug Burger
Superload
Some may be available in stores but you can order all of them online.

Its pretty gross if you look at the back for ingredients. I inherited a batch. Its all just corn and byproduct. Id throw it out and get some good stuff for the same price. I vote bug burger or cricket crack.
PS dubia dont like high protein. So stick with a mix that is less than 18%, prefer 10%

The stuff has zero nutritional value for chameleons. It will keep your crickets alive but you chams unhealthy.
Here is what I posted in another thread about this gutload.
Here are the ingredients I found in the fluker's cricket feed:
Ingredients:
Ground yellow corn, calcium carbonate, soybean meal, wheat middlings, ground soybean hulls, meat meal, fish meal, animal fat preserved with BHA, dicalcium phosphate, salt, dl-methionine, cyanocobalamin (source of vitamin B12), riboflavin, calcium pantothenate, nicotinic acid, choline chloride, folic acid, sodium selenite, pyridoxine hydrochloride, vitamin A acetate, cholecalciferol (source of vitamin D3), dl-alpha-tocopheryl acetate (source of vitamin E), menadione dimethylpyrimidinol bisulfite (source of vitamin K), magnesium oxide, thiamine, cobalt carbonate, ferrous carbonate, copper sulfate, calcium iodate, manganous oxide, zinc sulfate, zinc oxide.
Basically, just a bunch of junk. Yellow corn (Bad), soybean meal ( Likely, GMO soy, Bad), meat meal , ( Bad), fish meal, (Bad), animal fat preserved with BHA (wow, Bad) and on and on. I wouldn't even give it to a care taker watching my crew while on vacation.
Just thought I would toss that out there for you. It's all about reading and understanding the labels and chemistry.

Pretty much what I gather from these forums is that Flukers products are pretty much garbage. I'd suggest Rasphey's products (bug burger, super load), I've also heard great things about Dinofuel but have no personal experience.
