The Crawler Club

Living Vitamins of the Leafy Lodge

Inside the Leafy Lodge, we host a very exclusive group of residents at The Crawler Club. This is where we grow the high-quality, natural protein that serves as the “secret sauce” for our world-class pet treats. We don’t really think of these as “bugs”—we treat them as Living Vitamins. Because these members spend their entire lives munching on the fresh microgreens and aromatic herbs from our gardens, they are packed with the exact nutrients animals need to stay healthy and strong.

The Heavy-Hitters: Dubia Roaches and NutriGrubs

Our Dubias and NutriGrubs are the athletes of the club. Think of them as the primary power source for the kingdom. They are packed with the protein and calcium needed for building strength and healthy bones. Without these heavy-hitters, our treats wouldn’t have the “oomph” pets need to thrive.

The Precision Squad: Fruit Flies and Bean Beetles

These are our specialized experts. They might be small, but they are incredibly efficient at packing a massive nutrient boost into a tiny package. They ensure that even the smallest residents of the kingdom get exactly what they need to keep their energy levels high.

The Hydration Heroes: Silkworms

Silkworms are the most prestigious members on the roster. They are as fancy as they sound and play a vital role in our recipes by providing natural hydration and essential amino acids. They are the “premium” choice for keeping everything in the kingdom running smoothly.

The High-Energy Team: Superworms

As the name suggests, the Superworms are the high-energy life of the party. They provide the healthy fats and extra fuel needed for pets who are recovering their strength or just need a little more “get-up-and-go” in their daily routine.

By hosting this entire crew of specialized residents, our Green-Thumbs ensure that every treat coming out of the kitchen is powered by the cleanest and most nutritious protein available in Hastings. It’s a perfect, chemical-free loop: our garden scraps feed the club, and the club feeds the pets.

The Crawl Club: Guest Passes & Surplus Snacking

While most of the prestigious residents at The Crawler Club are destined to become the star ingredients in our bakery, our colonies occasionally do so well that we have an “overflow” of talent. When the club is at max capacity, we don’t let that extra energy go to waste. Instead, we offer our surplus to the community as live feeders.

This is your chance to bring the “Secret Garden” nutrition directly to your own pets. By grabbing a “Guest Pass” for these insects, you’re giving your animals the same healthy, vitamin-packed protein that we use in our professional recipes. Because our club members have been raised on the finest microgreens and herbs from the Leafy Lodge, they are the cleanest and most nutritious snacks you’ll find in Hastings.

How to Catch the Surplus

Since our Crawler Club is a living, breathing operation, our extra supply changes every day. We don’t believe in over-producing, so these “Guest Passes” are available on a first-come, first-served basis. By picking up your live protein from the foundation, you aren’t just getting better food for your pets—you’re directly supporting the Whole Kingdom. Every extra bug that heads home with a neighbor helps fund the work we do to keep the pantry stocked and the garden growing.
