Morning,
Gut loading is just feeding your feeder insects healthy foods that will aid in the development and health of your dragon.. For example collard greens is a staple green veggie for dragons.. so I feed it to my Dubia roaches it's just another way for you to get more healthy items into your animal.. research it on YOUTUBE!

Ah....ok I get it now....I thought it meant injecting nutrients into your insects then feeding them to your Beardie. Didn't even think to look on youtube. Thanks

Yep anything that you would feed to your dragon you can feed to your feeders to "gut load" them.. Dubia roaches are perfect to gut load as their GI track is long holding the nutrients in longer
