Silent Crickets Standard – Bag of 1000 | Bulk Livefood

Silent crickets are a staple livefood for reptile and amphibian keepers across the UK. This standard-size bag of 1000 offers a practical bulk quantity for regular feeding, gut-loaded before dispatch to maximise nutritional value from the moment they arrive at your door.

Why Silent Crickets?

Unlike common house crickets, silent crickets are easier to handle, straightforward to digest, and well-suited to daily feeding routines. Standard size makes them appropriate for juvenile reptiles, smaller amphibians, insectivorous invertebrates such as mantis and tarantulas, and some fish species. In the vivarium hobby, they are a go-to feeder for adult geckos and juvenile larger reptiles alike — including smaller pacman frogs and bullfrogs.

Sourcing and Preparation

• Farm-bred under ethical conditions
• Dispatched directly from the breeder
• Gut-loaded prior to packing to ensure nutritional content on arrival

Packaging and Transit

Crickets arrive in a ventilated plastic tub with egg-box cardboard included to increase surface area, reduce overcrowding, and minimise transit losses. Side perforations maintain airflow while keeping insects securely contained. During warmer months the outer box may carry additional ventilation perforations; during colder months a heat pack may be included to maintain a suitable temperature in transit.

Keeping and Feeding Your Crickets

Store at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and draughts, and provide adequate hiding space to prevent overcrowding. Feed continuously until use — fresh leafy greens, carrot, squash, or sweet potato all provide hydration and nutrients. Remove any uneaten food daily to prevent mould. Well-maintained crickets are significantly more nutritious for your animals than poorly kept ones.

Suitable For

• Bearded dragons
• Water dragons
• Leopard geckos
• Crested geckos
• Axolotls
• Pacman frogs and bullfrogs
• Insectivorous invertebrates including mantis and tarantulas

Buying in bulk means a consistent, reliable supply for keepers who feed livefood regularly — fresher arrivals, less reordering, and crickets that reach your animals in the best possible condition.
