Standard Silent Brown Crickets 12-18mm

Silent crickets are one of the most reliable and widely used livefoods in reptile and amphibian keeping. Available in a range of pack sizes to suit everything from a single gecko to a busy multi-vivarium collection, these gut-loaded crickets are dispatched directly from the breeder and arrive ready to feed.

Why Silent Crickets

Silent brown crickets are a staple livefood for good reason — they are nutritious, easy to digest, and straightforward to handle during feeding. Because they are gut-loaded before packing, the nutritional content on arrival is as high as possible. The standard size makes them well suited to juvenile and adult insectivorous reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates alike.

Suitable Species

These crickets work well as a core or supplementary feedstock for a broad range of commonly kept species. Recommended animals include:

• Bearded Dragons
• Water Dragons
• Leopard Geckos
• Crested Geckos
• Axolotl
• Pacman Frogs and Bullfrogs
• Insectivorous invertebrates such as mantis and tarantulas

Packaging and Transit

Each pack arrives in a ventilated plastic tub with egg-box cardboard inside, giving the crickets surface area to spread out and reducing the risk of overcrowding or trampling during transit. Air holes along the sides maintain airflow without compromising containment. In warmer months, the outer box may carry additional perforations for cooling; in colder months, a heat pack may be included to keep temperatures stable during delivery.

Keeping Them in Top Condition

To get the most from your crickets between deliveries, continue feeding them well until they are used. Suitable foods include fresh leafy greens, carrot, squash, and sweet potato, which provide both hydration and nutrients. Remove any uneaten food daily to prevent mould and keep the tub clean. Store at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and draughts, and ensure they have adequate space and hiding spots to reduce stress and mortality.

Animal Suitability and Pack Selection

Whether you are feeding a single vivarium or managing a larger collection, choosing the right pack size means less waste and fresher crickets at every feed. Select your preferred quantity from the options above to match your typical feeding frequency and the number of animals in your care.
