{"product_id":"black-crickets-medium-bag-of-1000","title":"Black Crickets Medium - Bag of 1000 | Bulk Livefood","description":"\u003cp\u003eMedium 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy Medium Black Crickets\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMedium 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSuitable For\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJuvenile bearded dragons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJuvenile and adult geckos\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJuvenile chameleons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrogs and toads, including pacman and bullfrogs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePraying mantids\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTarantulas and other insectivorous spiders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePackaging and Transit\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCrickets 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKeeping and Feeding Your Crickets\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFarm-Bred and Fresh\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBred in controlled, ethical farming conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGut-loaded prior to packing for maximum nutritional content\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDispatched direct from the breeder for freshness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVentilated, seasonally adjusted packaging throughout transit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peregrine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54146948825425,"sku":"A110","price":19.16,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0963\/0403\/8225\/files\/A110_1.jpg?v=1782721414","url":"https:\/\/viperia.co.uk\/products\/black-crickets-medium-bag-of-1000","provider":"Viperia UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
