Crickets are one of the most popular and versatile feeder insects for reptiles, amphibians, and even some invertebrates. Active and nutritious, they provide an excellent source of protein and enrichment, encouraging natural hunting behaviors in your pets.

Key Benefits:

• Nutritious & Balanced: A great staple feeder, offering protein and essential nutrients when properly gut-loaded and dusted.

• Stimulating for Pets: Their quick movements encourage exercise and natural instincts in reptiles and amphibians.

• Versatile Size Options: Suitable for a wide variety of species—from small geckos and young chameleons to larger lizards and tarantulas.
