Give your reptile a
more diverse diet โ
without changing
anything else.
Boost is a monthly box of premium BSFL and hornworms. Mix them into the food you already feed. Two new species, and almost every nutrient number improves.
We compared 14 nutrients.
Adding these two bugs
improved 12 of them.
No single insect gives a reptile everything it needs. Feeding more species is how you get your animal the right nutrition. These two add the most.
Calcium deficiency is the most common health problem in pet reptiles. BSFL are the only common feeder with more calcium than phosphorus. No other insect solves this problem naturally.
Most reptiles get their water from food, not a bowl. Hornworms are nearly 88% water, with minerals and protein at just 1% fat.
Both are packed with vitamins and minerals. Each is the best available at something your reptile can't go without.
Modeled calorie-matched diet comparison: our Q2 2026 Midwest Laboratories results plus published cricket data (Finke, 2002). 14 nutrient markers scored; protein and phosphorus did not improve.
One monthly box.
Two feeders.
Here's exactly what ships in every Boost box, and what each item is there to do.
Same diet. Same calories.
Better nutrition.
We built the same diet two ways for a 300-gram bearded dragon โ all crickets, or crickets plus Boost โ matched to the exact same calories over one month. Then we ran the numbers: our quarterly lab results for our feeders, published research data (Finke, 2002) for crickets. Here's what changed.
We can show you this because we actually measure.
Every quarter, an independent lab โ Midwest Laboratories, Omaha โ runs a full nutrient and heavy-metal panel on our feeders. The comparison above uses those results against the most widely cited published cricket data in the field: 12 of 14 markers improved. To our knowledge, no other feeder supplier tests at all. Full report available on request.
"By expanding the dietary offerings provided to captive reptiles, we can ensure they are exposed to a broader range of nutrients, as well as limit the likelihood of the pets developing a nutritional disease."
What we can tell you about our bugs.
What they can't tell you about theirs.
Every quarter, an independent lab tests our feeders for nutrition and for contaminants โ lead, arsenic, mercury. Every line below is from that report. To our knowledge, no competitor tests for any of it.
"Unknown" = supplier publishes no third-party testing data. Cricket baselines: published feeder-insect composition research (Finke, 2002). Our full quarterly report is available on request.
Raised for quality. Not for mass production.
Those numbers don't happen by accident. Most feeder operations optimize for yield โ cheapest feed, fastest harvest โ and never check what ends up in the bug. We run the loop the other way: control the feed, control the conditions, then test the output every quarter to prove it worked.
We feed all our bugs a high-quality, vitamin- and mineral-fortified grain-based diet. Published research is clear: what a feeder eats directly shapes its final nutrient profile.

BSFL hold at 80โ90ยฐF and 50โ60% humidity. Hornworms hold at 77โ83ยฐF. Sensors log temperature and humidity every 60 seconds across every production line.

Which ReptiBites is right for you?
Most owners already have a feeding routine that works. Boost upgrades it โ same routine, better nutrition, half the price. Premium is for owners who'd rather hand us the whole diet, schedule and all.
"We're the only commercial supplier we know of who can show you, with independent data, exactly what your reptile is eating. Everything else is a guess."
In the video, Jackson walks the facility floor โ feed sourcing, temperature logs, the lab samples that go out each quarter.
Real people. Fast answers. Problems actually fixed.
Live insects, shipped fast โ sometimes things go wrong. What matters is what happens next. Automated replies handle tracking and basics; everything else gets a real person, fast. Read the reviews below: it's the thing customers mention most.
If your bugs don't arrive alive, contact us and we'll make it right. Not the fine-print kind of guarantee โ the kind where a real person fixes it.
Faster shipping means fresher bugs and fewer DOAs at the source. The $34.99 price covers it. No surprises at checkout.
Bots only handle the basics โ tracking, hours. Anything real gets a human in under 5 minutes during business hours. Our average: under 2.
โGot our first shipment today. Very impressed. There was a mix-up on my address โ totally my fault. Customer service tried to get it changed and couldn't, so they immediately sent out a replacement at no cost. Super impressed. Spike was even more impressed โ he thought they were quite yummy.โ
โThis is by far the best way to get a varied diet for my beardie. Our little guy is happy and healthy, and I attribute a good part of that to his diet.โ
โI've been using them for almost 2 years. In that time I had one issue with an empty container. I called and they immediately sent a replacement for the whole order, so babygirl had extra food. I always recommend this company.โ
Within a few dollars of the alternatives. Worlds apart on the quality.
Same package โ 500 BSFL + 12 hornworms โ three suppliers, delivered fast enough to arrive alive and fresh. Once shipping is real, the price gap nearly disappears. The difference in what you get does not.
Fluker's pricing at time of writing: $7.90 (500 BSFL) + $9.90 (12 hornworms) + $9.34 standard ground = $27.14; expedited 1โ2 day shipping runs $20+, bringing the comparable total to $37.80+. Pet-store totals reflect ~$1 per hornworm and typical small-cup BSFL pricing, where carried. *Fluker's live arrival guarantee is subject to shipping-method and weather conditions โ verify their current terms.
Three steps. That's it.
