Gut-loaded before packing and dispatched directly from the breeder, these pre-pack micro crickets arrive in excellent condition and ready to feed. At this size, they suit the smallest vivarium residents — from hatchlings and juveniles through to adult geckos and invertebrate slings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy Micro?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMicro silent brown crickets are the smallest size available, making them appropriate for animals that cannot safely take larger prey.

Air holes along the sides maintain airflow while keeping the crickets securely contained. During warmer months the outer box may include additional perforations for ventilation; during colder months a heat pack may be included to maintain a safe transit temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKeeping and Feeding Your Crickets\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo maintain nutritional quality between delivery and feeding, keep the crickets at room temperature away from direct sunlight and draughts. Feed them regularly on fresh leafy greens, carrot, squash, or sweet potato — these provide both hydration and nutrients. Remove uneaten food daily to prevent mould. Well-maintained, well-fed crickets deliver significantly more nutritional benefit to your animals than crickets kept in poor conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFarm-Bred and Gut-Loaded\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBred in controlled, ethical farming conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGut-loaded prior to packing for maximum nutritional content on arrival\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDispatched directly from the breeder for freshness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShipped five days a week via fast courier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eReliable, nutritious, and correctly sized for the smallest animals in your collection — micro silent brown crickets are a practical staple for any keeper working with hatchlings, juveniles, or small invertebrates.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peregrine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54146996044113,"sku":"A517","price":2.66,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0963\/0403\/8225\/files\/A517_1.jpg?v=1782721554","url":"https:\/\/viperia.co.uk\/products\/silent-crickets-pre-pack-micro","provider":"Viperia UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
