Silent Crickets Medium | Bag of 1000 | Bulk Livefood

Medium silent brown crickets (Gryllus assimilis) are a staple feeder insect for reptile and amphibian keepers across the UK. This bulk bag of 1,000 is dispatched directly from the breeder, gut-loaded before packing to maximise nutritional value on arrival. At medium size, they suit a wide range of species that find larger crickets too challenging — and their silence makes them far easier to live with than conventional crickets.

Why Medium?

Medium silent crickets hit a practical size point that works for juvenile and smaller reptiles without posing any risk of injury or stress. They are straightforward to catch, digest well, and can form part of a daily feeding rotation. In-store, this size is commonly used for adult geckos and juvenile larger species such as bearded dragons and chameleons.

Suitable Species

• Juvenile bearded dragons
• Juvenile leopard geckos
• Juvenile chameleons
• Frogs and toads, including pacman frogs and bullfrogs
• Praying mantids
• Tarantulas and other insectivorous invertebrates

Packaging and Transit

Crickets arrive in a ventilated plastic container with egg-box cardboard included to increase surface area, reduce crowding, and give the insects space to spread out. Small air holes along the sides maintain airflow while keeping the contents secure. Seasonal adjustments are made for temperature: extra perforations are added to the outer box in warmer months, and a heat pack may be included in colder months to protect the crickets during transit.

Keeping and Gut-Loading

To maintain nutritional quality between delivery and feeding, keep the crickets at room temperature away from direct sunlight and draughts, and provide fresh food regularly. Leafy greens, carrot, squash, or sweet potato all work well — they provide both hydration and nutrients. Remove uneaten food daily to prevent mould. Well-fed crickets deliver significantly better nutrition to your animals than those left unfed.
