Live Crickets
Crickets are the classic feeder for a reason. They're active, they get a strong feeding response, and they work for a huge range of animals: leopard geckos, bearded dragons, frogs, chameleons, tarantulas and more. We carry small, medium and large, so you can match the cricket to your animal.
Why we carry banded crickets: The crickets we sell are banded crickets, not the common brown house cricket. They're easy to spot: a lighter tan body with dark stripes across the back. Keepers like them because they're quieter, they smell less, and they hold up better at home. They also resist the cricket virus that wiped out a lot of house cricket farms, so they're a reliable feeder you can count on.
Tips from our team:
- Pick a cricket no longer than the space between your animal's eyes.
- Gut load them for 24 hours before feeding, and dust with calcium right before they go in.
- Keep them in a ventilated container with food and a water source. Use water crystals or a cricket drink, not an open dish, so they don't drown.
- Take out any crickets your animal doesn't eat. Left in overnight, they can nibble on a sleeping pet.
