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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy Silent Crickets?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnlike 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSourcing and Preparation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFarm-bred under ethical conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDispatched directly from the breeder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGut-loaded prior to packing to ensure nutritional content on arrival\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePackaging and Transit\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCrickets 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKeeping and Feeding Your Crickets\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eStore 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSuitable For\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBearded dragons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWater dragons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeopard geckos\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrested geckos\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAxolotls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePacman frogs and bullfrogs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInsectivorous invertebrates including mantis and tarantulas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuying 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peregrine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54146995159377,"sku":"A510","price":18.66,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0963\/0403\/8225\/files\/A510_1.jpg?v=1782721546","url":"https:\/\/viperia.co.uk\/products\/silent-crickets-standard-bag-of-1000","provider":"Viperia UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
