Silent Crickets Med/Small | Bag of 1000 | Bulk Livefood

Silent crickets at medium/small size are a staple feeder insect for keepers of juvenile reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates. This bag of 1000 is suited to those feeding multiple animals or a single animal regularly, offering a consistent, nutritious food source dispatched directly from the breeder and gut-loaded before packing to maximise nutritional value on arrival.

Why Silent Crickets?

Silent brown crickets are easy for animals to catch, straightforward to digest, and highly nutritious — making them a reliable choice for daily feeding routines. The medium/small size is appropriate for juvenile bearded dragons, juvenile geckos, juvenile chameleons, most frog species, mantids, spiders, and tarantulas. Their manageable size reduces feeding stress and the risk of prey items overwhelming younger or smaller animals.

Packaging and Transit

Crickets are packed in a ventilated plastic tub with egg-box cardboard inserts, which increases surface area and reduces overcrowding and trampling during transit. Small air holes along the tub sides maintain airflow while keeping the insects securely contained. In warmer months the outer carton may carry additional perforations to assist cooling; in colder months a heat pack may be included to maintain a safe temperature during delivery.

Keeping Your Crickets in Good Condition

• Store at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and draughts.
• Provide appropriate housing with sufficient hiding spots to prevent overcrowding stress.
• Gut-load continuously with fresh leafy greens, carrot, squash, or sweet potato — this sustains hydration and nutrient density right up to feeding time.
• Specialist gut-loading diets can be used to further enhance nutritional value.
• Remove uneaten food daily to prevent mould and maintain a clean environment.

Suitable For

• Juvenile bearded dragons
• Juvenile geckos
• Juvenile chameleons
• Frogs and other amphibians
• Mantids
• Spiders and tarantulas
• Smaller insectivorous fish and invertebrates

Well-maintained, well-fed crickets deliver significantly better nutrition than stressed or underfed feeder insects. Keeping this batch in good condition between deliveries is straightforward and directly benefits your animal's health and digestion.
