From Beetles to Geckos: Customizing Specialized Nutrition Jellies for the Exotic Pet Market

Introduction: The Evolution of Insect Nutrition
For decades, beetle enthusiasts relied on slices of bananas or apples to feed their prized Stag Beetles (Dorcus) and Rhinoceros Beetles (Dynastes). But any serious breeder knows the downsides: fruit rots quickly, attracts annoying fruit flies, creates bad odors, and provides inconsistent nutrition.

At WDL (Weiduoli Food), we have applied our human-grade hydrocolloid technology to the exotic pet world. Introducing our professional-grade Insect Jellies—the clean, nutritious, and convenient alternative to fresh fruit.

Why Jelly Over Fruit?
Our jellies are specifically formulated for adult beetles, providing:
1.Extended Shelf Life: Unlike fruit that spoils in a day, our jellies can remain in the terrarium for several days without rotting, making them perfect for weekend trips.
2.Hygiene: No sticky mess, no fruit flies, and no mold.
3.Targeted Nutrition: Fruit is mostly water and sugar. Our jellies are fortified with proteins, amino acids, and minerals essential for beetle longevity.

The Two Classics: Brown Sugar & High Protein
We offer two flagship formulations designed to cover the complete lifecycle of adult beetles:

1. Brown Sugar Flavor (Black Label): The Energy Booster
1. Concept: Mimics the natural tree sap that beetles feed on in the wild.
2. Benefit: Rich in carbohydrates and minerals. It provides an immediate energy spike, making it ideal for active male beetles who burn energy fighting or climbing. The rich, sweet aroma is irresistible to them.
2. High Protein Flavor (White/Milky Label): The Breeder’s Choice
1. Concept: Enriched with high-quality proteins (plant or dairy-based).
2. Benefit: Crucial for female beetles before and after egg-laying (oviposition) to recover strength. It is also recommended for beetles emerging from hibernation to boost their body mass.

Beyond Beetles: Custom Formulas for Reptiles (Geckos)
The exotic pet market is diverse, and WDL is ready to innovate. We know that arboreal reptiles, such as Crested Geckos and Day Geckos, love jelly textures.
We offer Advanced OEM Customization to turn a standard jelly into a "Complete Meal" for reptiles:

• Insect Powder Infusion: We can incorporate Cricket Powder, Mealworm Powder, or Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL) powder directly into the jelly matrix.
• Calcium & D3: Essential for preventing metabolic bone disease in reptiles.
• Fruit Puree Base: We can use real fig, banana, or papaya puree as the base flavor to trigger their feeding response.

Human-Grade Manufacturing for Pets
What sets WDL apart in the pet food industry? We are a human food factory.
Our insect and reptile jellies are produced on the same high-standard automated lines as our human snacks. This means:

• Consistent Quality: No batch variation.
• Safe Packaging: Leak-proof sealing that withstands global shipping.
• Scale: We can produce millions of cups to supply major pet retail chains.
