Black Crickets Medium - Bag of 1000 | Bulk Livefood

Medium black crickets are a staple livefood for reptile and amphibian keepers, offering a highly digestible, protein-rich feeder insect that works across a wide range of species. This bag of 1000 is suited to keepers who feed regularly and want a reliable bulk supply dispatched directly from the breeder, gut-loaded before packing to maximise nutritional value on arrival.

Why Medium Black Crickets

Medium black crickets sit at a size that suits juvenile reptiles without overwhelming them, and they remain the go-to feeder for adult geckos and smaller insectivorous species alike. They are straightforward to catch in the vivarium, move actively enough to trigger a feeding response, and digest readily — making them well suited to daily feeding routines. They are a particularly good choice for smaller pacman frogs, bullfrogs, and insectivorous invertebrates including mantids and tarantulas.

Suitable For

• Juvenile bearded dragons
• Juvenile and adult geckos
• Juvenile chameleons
• Frogs and toads, including pacman and bullfrogs
• Praying mantids
• Tarantulas and other insectivorous spiders

Packaging and Transit

Crickets are packed in a ventilated plastic tub with sections of egg-box cardboard inside, which increases surface area and reduces the risk of overcrowding or trampling during transit. Ventilation holes along the sides maintain airflow while keeping the insects contained. Seasonal adjustments are made to packaging — additional perforations may be added in warmer months, and a heat pack may be included in colder months to maintain a safe temperature throughout the journey.

Keeping and Feeding Your Crickets

To get the most from your crickets nutritionally, continue gut-loading them until they are used. Offer fresh leafy greens, carrot, squash, or sweet potato at regular intervals — these provide both hydration and nutrients that pass directly to your reptile. Remove any uneaten food daily to prevent mould build-up. House them at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and draughts, with adequate space and hiding spots to prevent stress and losses.

Farm-Bred and Fresh

• Bred in controlled, ethical farming conditions
• Gut-loaded prior to packing for maximum nutritional content
• Dispatched direct from the breeder for freshness
• Ventilated, seasonally adjusted packaging throughout transit

A steady supply of well-kept, gut-loaded medium black crickets makes a tangible difference to your animals' condition — particularly for juveniles in active growth phases where consistent nutrition matters most.
