Here are five common myths about dried insects:

1. Myth: Dried insects are nutritionally inferior: Some believe that dried insects lose all their nutrients during processing. However, high-quality dried insects retain essential proteins, fats, and minerals, though they may need additional supplementation like calcium.

2. Myth: Reptiles won’t recognize or eat dried insects: While live prey is often more stimulating, many reptiles can be trained to eat dried insects, especially if they are moistened or mixed with other foods.

3. Myth: Dried insects are unnatural for reptiles: Although live prey is more natural, dried insects can still provide valuable nutrition and variety, simulating some aspects of a wild diet when balanced properly.

4. Myth: Dried insects are hard to digest: Some assume dried insects are tougher for reptiles to digest, but most reptiles can digest them just as easily as live insects, particularly if they are rehydrated beforehand.

5. Myth: Dried insects cause dehydration: It’s a common misconception that feeding dried insects can lead to dehydration. This can be easily avoided by providing fresh water and including moisture-rich foods in the diet.
