{"product_id":"medium-locusts-1220mm","title":"Locust Super-Pack - Medium","description":"\u003cp\u003eMedium locusts are one of the most widely used feeder insects in reptile and amphibian keeping — nutritious, active, and easy for a broad range of species to catch and digest. The Locust Super-Pack is available in multiple pack sizes, so whether you're feeding a single juvenile or maintaining a larger collection, there's a quantity to suit your setup. All locusts are dispatched directly from the breeder, gut-loaded before packing to maximise nutritional content on arrival.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy Medium Locusts\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMedium locusts sit at a size that works well across a wide variety of insectivorous species. They're active enough to stimulate natural feeding behaviour without being too large to handle comfortably. Their relatively thin exoskeleton makes them straightforward to digest, which matters particularly for juvenile animals or smaller species.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSuitable Species\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMedium locusts are well suited to the following animals:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJuvenile bearded dragons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJuvenile geckos\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTree frogs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eToads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJuvenile turtles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTarantulas and other insectivorous invertebrates such as mantis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSourcing and Freshness\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese locusts are farm-bred under ethical conditions and sent straight from the breeder. They are gut-loaded before dispatch to ensure your animals are getting the best possible nutritional input from the moment the tub is opened. Viperia ships livefood five days a week via fast, reliable couriers, with most orders packed on the day of dispatch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePackaging\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLocusts arrive in a ventilated plastic tub with egg-box cardboard inside, which increases surface area and reduces overcrowding or trampling during transit. Small air holes along the sides of the tub maintain airflow while keeping the insects contained. In warmer months, additional perforations may be added to the outer box for cooling; in colder months, a heat pack may be included to protect the insects during transit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKeeping and Gut-Loading\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eStore your locusts in the tub they arrive in at room temperature, away from direct sunlight, cold draughts, and damp. Keep the container dry and well-ventilated. To maintain nutritional quality, continue feeding them fresh leafy greens, carrot, squash, or sweet potato right up until they are fed to your animals. Remove uneaten food daily to prevent mould and keep conditions clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eChoosing Your Pack Size\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Locust Super-Pack is available in several quantities to match your feeding requirements — select your preferred pack size from the options on this page. Keepers running larger collections or feeding multiple animals regularly will benefit from the higher quantities, while smaller packs suit those with a single animal or shorter feeding windows.
