This pre-pack is gut-loaded before despatch, meaning your animals receive a nutritious meal from the moment the tub is opened. At mini size, these crickets are suited to hatchlings, juveniles, and smaller species that cannot yet handle larger prey items.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy Mini Crickets?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMini brown house crickets are small enough for very young or diminutive animals to catch and consume safely. They are easy to digest, nutritious, and active enough to trigger a natural feeding response. In-store, they are used daily for baby geckos, small spiders, and juvenile tree frogs — animals where prey size is critical to safe feeding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSuitable For\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBaby bearded dragons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBaby leopard geckos\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBaby crested geckos\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBaby chameleons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTree frogs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmall spiders and tarantula spiderlings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePraying mantis and other small insectivorous invertebrates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmall insectivorous fish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePackaging\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCrickets arrive in a ventilated plastic tub with cardboard egg-box sections inside, increasing surface area and reducing the risk of overcrowding or trampling. Air holes along the sides maintain airflow while keeping the insects contained. During warmer months, the outer box may carry additional perforations for ventilation; in colder months, a heat pack may be included to maintain a safe temperature throughout transit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKeeping and Feeding Your Crickets\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eStore mini brown house crickets at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and draughts. Continue gut-loading them right up until they are used — offer fresh leafy greens, carrot, squash, or sweet potato for hydration and nutrients. Remove uneaten food daily to prevent mould and keep conditions clean. Well-maintained live food passes its nutritional value directly to your animals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAnimal Suitability and Gut-Loading\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese crickets are farm-bred and gut-loaded prior to packing, so they arrive ready to feed.
