Standard / Large Black Crickets 12-20mm

Black crickets are a staple livefood for a wide range of reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates. This pre-pack is available in a smaller tub or a larger bag, making it straightforward to order the right quantity for your feeding routine — whether you're topping up for a single animal or feeding a larger collection.

Nutritional Value

Standard/large black crickets are a highly nutritious, easily digestible feeder insect well suited to daily feeding. They are gut-loaded prior to packing at the breeder, so they arrive carrying genuine nutritional value rather than empty calories. Well-fed crickets pass that nutrition directly to your animal, supporting healthy digestion and condition.

Suitable Animals

At standard/large size, these crickets are appropriate for adult reptiles and larger feeders across a range of species. Recommended for:

• Bearded Dragons
• Water Dragons
• Leopard Geckos
• Crested Geckos
• Pacman Frogs and Bullfrogs
• Large amphibians and insectivorous invertebrates such as mantis and tarantulas

Packaging

Crickets arrive in a ventilated plastic tub containing egg-box cardboard, which increases surface area and reduces the risk of overcrowding or trampling in transit. Small air holes along the sides maintain airflow while keeping the insects contained. Seasonal adjustments are made to packaging — additional perforations for warmer months and heat packs included during colder periods to help maintain a suitable temperature during delivery.

Keeping Them in Good Condition

Store your crickets at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and draughts. Provide regular fresh food — leafy greens, carrot, squash, or sweet potato all work well, offering both hydration and nutrients. Remove uneaten food daily to keep conditions clean. Adequate housing with hiding spots helps reduce stress and keeps mortality low before feeding.

Choosing the Right Pack Size

Available as a smaller pre-pack tub or a larger bag, these black crickets suit keepers at different stages — from those feeding one or two animals through to those maintaining a regular supply for a larger vivarium setup. Select the quantity that matches your feeding frequency to keep your livefood as fresh as possible.

Bred under ethical farm conditions and dispatched directly from the breeder, these crickets give reptile keepers a reliable, nutritious feeder insect delivered ready to use.
