Small locusts are well-suited to juveniles and smaller species, offering good nutritional return without placing unnecessary strain on the animal's digestive system. Their movement in the vivarium also encourages natural hunting behaviour.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSuitable Species\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSmall locusts work well across a wide range of commonly kept species.

Small air holes along the sides maintain airflow while keeping the insects safely contained. In warmer months, the outer box may carry additional perforations for ventilation; in colder months, a heat pack may be included to protect the insects during delivery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKeeping Them in Good Condition\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eStore your locusts in the tub they arrive in, at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and cold draughts. Keep the container dry and well-ventilated throughout. Offer fresh leafy greens, carrot, squash, or sweet potato at regular intervals to keep them fed and hydrated — remove any uneaten food daily to prevent mould and maintain cleanliness. Continuing to gut-load right up until feeding maximises the nutritional benefit passed on to your animal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFreshness Guarantee\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eViperia ships livefood five days a week using fast couriers, with most orders packed on the day of dispatch.
