Crickets

(Acheta domestica)

– full of protein, vitamins, and minerals, and fun to eat!

From bearded dragons to anoles, tarantulas toa red-eared sliders, just about every reptile, amphibian, and arachnid enjoys live crickets. Crickets are a good staple for their diets, and they’re full of natural appeal. Shake a few crickets into their habitat, and watch your animal hunt, chase, and slurp them up.

Choosing Cricket Sizes

The best rule of thumb? Choose a cricket that’s smaller in width than the animal’s mouth. It’s usually better to guess small on cricket size, rather than large – your animals will still eat a cricket that’s smaller than its ideal size, but if the cricket is more than a mouthful, it’s too big. Our Inside Sales Representatives can help you choose the right size or combination of sizes for the animals you keep. With ten sizes to choose from, we’ll certainly have the size of cricket you need!
