Beetle Jelly- a very simple recipe
From
on
There is now a large variety of different Beetle Jelly on the Internet. The brightly colored Beetle Jelly immediately catches the eye and you can guess where they got their nickname “gummy bears for insects” from. But do our pets or food animals need Beetle-Jelly? The answer to this question is actually a clear and concise “no”.
But you wouldn’t be reading my blog if you didn’t know there was a little more to come and that’s exactly how it is this time.
Beetle-Jelly is the industry’s answer to the needs of working pet owners who go on vacation and still want to offer their pets a species-appropriate diet.
From our point of view, it has many advantages: You don’t have the hassle of running to a supermarket and you don’t have to deal with the question of whether you should use organic fruit, canned fruit or perhaps the cheaper “conventional fruit” after all. Beetle jelly can be stored properly at home without going bad within a very short time. They can be left in the terrarium for several days without fruit flies forming or starting to ferment. This also prevents bad odors. With Beetle-Jelly we can soothe our conscience while we work or relax on vacation.

If you take a closer look at your pet’s diet, you will quickly realize that the higher the quality of the food, i.e. the higher the fruit content, the shorter the shelf life.
Unfortunately, it is often the case that our animals like the Beetle-Jelly and are so fixated on it that they spurn other food. We also often like things that are not good for us. However, the industry also helps a lot with this. Flavorings and colorings are often added to Beetle Jelly so that an animal eats something that does not correspond to nature.

A shelf life of up to 3 years cannot be achieved without preservatives. So now everyone can imagine what is in these colorful Beetle Jellies. Often you won’t find any ingredients on the supplier’s website and certainly not on the unlabeled Beetle-Jelly.
If you don’t want to miss out on the benefits of Beetle Jelly, but still want to offer your animals a healthy diet, you should choose a supplier who doesn’t offer imported products from China, or you can venture into the kitchen and do it yourself.
