Protein Source: Protein is essential for cricket growth and reproduction. Good sources of protein include soybean meal, fish meal, protein powder and yeast. These ingredients provide essential amino acids to help crickets grow and reproduce well.
Fat: Provides essential fatty acids. Vegetable oil or sesame oil can be used as a fat source.
Vitamins and Minerals: Crickets require vitamins and minerals to stay healthy. Vitamins and minerals can be provided by providing vegetables and fruits, or specialized cricket nutritional supplements can be purchased.
