Flavor and Formula Breakdown
Each of the three jelly cup flavors is formulated with a water and dried glucose syrup base, providing energy and hydration. Apple juice from concentrate adds natural sweetness, while each flavor features its own distinct profile. The Banana cup uses artificial banana flavor with natural colorants. The Brown Sugar cup delivers a warm, caramel-toned flavor using artificial brown sugar flavor and caramel coloring. The Nectar cup offers a light, floral profile with lactic acid for a subtle tang. All three cups contain glycine and citric acid as a preservative, with sodium citrate for stability.
Setup and Usage Guidance
Place jelly cups directly in the enclosure by burying them in substrate at a slight angle for easy insect access, or use them with the Zoo Med Creatures Rock Dish for a naturalistic presentation. Replace cups once consumed or after 48 hours to maintain enclosure hygiene. Suitable for beetle larvae, adult beetles, crickets, and other invertebrates kept in Bugariums, Creatures habitats, or bioactive terrariums.
