Micro Silent Brown Crickets 1-3mm - 500 Pack Reviews

Silent Brown Crickets as Reptile Food Our micro silent brown crickets are a main staple of many reptile and amphibian livefood diets. They are easy to catch, highly nutritious and quite easy to digest, making them perfect for daily feeding. They are dispatched directly from the breeder and will be gut-loaded before packing to make sure that they are as nutritious as possible on arrival. Micro silent brown crickets are very small, so they are the perfect size for our tiniest reptiles, baby amphibians, some fish and many newly-hatched insectivorous invertebrates (e.g. mantis and tarantulas). In the store we use the micro crickets to feed all of our adult geckos and juvenile large reptiles. They are also particularly good for spider and tarantula slings. You'll love them because: We guarantee freshness or your money back. They are farm-bred in ethical conditions. They are pre-fed to ensure your reptile is getting a healthy and nutritious meal. Delivered straight to your door in good time. Packaging The silent crickets arrive in a ventilated plastic tub containing a section of egg-box cardboard. Small air holes along the sides provide airflow while keeping the crickets safely contained. The egg-box increases surface area, giving the insects space to spread out and reducing the risk of overcrowding or trampling. In warmer months, the outer cardboard box may have extra perforations for cooling. In colder months, we may include a plain white heat pack to help maintain a suitable temperature during transit. Feeding Guide If you want to keep the crickets as nutritious as possible, we recommend feeding them a healthy diet right up until they're used. Offer fresh leafy greens, carrots, squash, or sweet potato, these provide hydration and essential nutrients. You can also use specialist insect foods or gut-loading diets to boost their nutritional value for your reptile. Remove any uneaten food daily to keep the enclosure clean and prevent mould or decay. Well-fed crickets are an excellent choice for your reptile’s livefood and are far more beneficial, helping support their health and digestion. For more information on their diet, please consult our livefood care sheet. If you’re looking for other types of reptile food, we also stock frozen, animal-specific, vegetation and supplement options. Animal Suitability We recommend micro silent brown crickets for the following animal types: Baby Frogs Baby Axolotls Small Spiders Small Mantis Baby Toads Care Instructions Keep silent crickets at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or draughts. Add fresh food at regular intervals to keep them healthy and active. Avoid overcrowding by providing size-appropriate housing with plenty of hiding spots. Looking after your live food properly helps ensure your lizard or other reptile or amphibian species gets highly nutritious livefood.
