Black Crickets Pre-Pack - Medium

Medium black crickets are a staple livefood for a wide range of reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates. Available in a 100 pack or 1000 bag, these are farm-bred, gut-loaded before packing, and dispatched fresh — making them a reliable choice for keepers who feed regularly and want consistent nutritional quality.

Why Medium Black Crickets

Medium black crickets sit at a size that suits juvenile reptiles and smaller species particularly well. They are straightforward for animals to catch and digest, making them well-suited to daily feeding routines. Their softer body compared to some other feeder insects also makes them a good option for animals that are still developing or have more modest prey requirements.

Gut-Loaded for Better Nutrition

These crickets are fed a nutritious diet before packing so that your animal benefits from the improved nutritional content on arrival. To maintain that quality after delivery, continue feeding them fresh leafy greens, carrot, squash, or sweet potato right up until they are used. Remove any uneaten food daily to keep the colony clean and prevent mould or decay.

Packaging and Transit

The crickets arrive in a ventilated plastic tub with egg-box cardboard inside, which increases surface area, reduces overcrowding, and gives the insects space to spread out safely. Small air holes along the sides maintain airflow throughout transit. During warmer months the outer box may carry additional perforations for cooling; in colder months a heat pack may be included to protect the crickets during delivery.

Keeping Them Healthy at Home

Store medium black crickets at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and draughts. House them in appropriately sized, well-ventilated containers with plenty of hiding spots to reduce stress and prevent trampling. Well-maintained live food is noticeably more active and nutritious — worth the small effort for the benefit it brings to your animals.

Whether you are feeding a single juvenile or running a collection that gets through volume, the 100 pack and 1000 bag options let you match your order to your actual feeding schedule — reducing waste and keeping your supply fresh.
