FAQs

What size reptiles are these crickets suitable for?
Our 8mm small crickets are perfect for juvenile bearded dragons (2-6 months old), young geckos, small frogs, and baby birds. They're too large for very young hatchlings but ideal for growing juveniles.
How long will 500 crickets last?
For a young bearded dragon eating 25 crickets daily, 500 crickets will last about 20 days. For geckos eating 6 crickets every other day, they'll last approximately 6 weeks.
What's the nutritional value of 4-week-old crickets?
Our 4-week-old crickets contain approximately 18% protein, 6% fat, and are rich in calcium and essential amino acids. This age provides optimal nutrition for growing reptiles.
How do I store the crickets when they arrive?
Use a ventilated plastic container, keep at room temperature (20-25°C), feed them fresh vegetables daily, and provide water via damp sponge. Never use open water containers.
What if some crickets die during shipping?
We guarantee 95% live arrival. We include 10% extra crickets to cover normal transit losses. If more than 5% arrive dead, contact us within 24 hours for a free replacement.
