{"product_id":"medium-black-crickets-812mm","title":"Black Crickets Pre-Pack - Medium","description":"\u003cp\u003eMedium 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy Medium Black Crickets\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMedium 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGut-Loaded for Better Nutrition\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePackaging and Transit\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSuitable For\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 toads (including smaller pacman frogs and bullfrogs)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMantids\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTarantulas and other insectivorous invertebrates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKeeping Them Healthy at Home\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eStore medium black crickets at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and draughts.
