{"product_id":"black-crickets-pre-pack-med-small","title":"Black Crickets Pre-Pack Med\/Small | Reptile Livefood UK","description":"\u003cp\u003eBlack crickets are a staple livefood for reptile and amphibian keepers, and this med\/small pre-pack is sized specifically for juvenile and smaller animals. Gut-loaded before packing and dispatched direct from the breeder, these arrive in reliable condition and ready to feed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy Black Crickets?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlack crickets are nutritious, straightforward for animals to catch, and easy to digest — making them well suited to regular, daily feeding. At med\/small sizing, they're appropriate for juvenile dragons, juvenile geckos, juvenile chameleons, frogs, mantids, and spiders. They're also a practical choice for smaller insectivorous invertebrates.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePackaging\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCrickets arrive in a ventilated plastic tub with egg-box cardboard included. Perforated sides allow airflow while keeping insects contained, and the egg-box gives them surface area to spread out, reducing the risk of trampling or overcrowding. In warmer months the outer box may carry additional ventilation perforations; in colder months a heat pack may be included to maintain a safe transit temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKeeping Your Livefood\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eStore med\/small black crickets at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and draughts. Continue gut-loading them right up until use — offer fresh leafy greens, carrot, squash, or sweet potato for hydration and nutrition. Remove any uneaten food daily to prevent mould. Well-maintained crickets deliver significantly better nutritional value to your animals than neglected ones.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAnimal Suitability\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJuvenile bearded dragons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJuvenile geckos\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJuvenile chameleons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrogs and other amphibians\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMantids\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpiders and tarantulas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFreshness and Dispatch\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLivefood is dispatched five days a week via fast courier, packed on the day of dispatch and sent straight from the breeder.
