XL Silent Brown Crickets 20-30mm

Extra-large silent brown crickets are a staple livefood for adult and large reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates. Available in a pre-pack, these are gut-loaded before dispatch and sent directly from the breeder, so they arrive in good condition and ready to feed. Whether you keep bearded dragons, monitor lizards, or large frogs, XL silent crickets are a reliable, nutritious feeder insect suited to a wide range of species.

Why Silent Crickets

Silent brown crickets are easier to handle than standard black crickets — quieter, less likely to escape, and generally more straightforward to manage in a home setup. At extra-large size, they're well suited to adult reptiles and larger animals that need a substantial, protein-rich feeder. They're easy to digest and practical for regular, daily feeding.

Suitable Species

XL silent crickets work well for a broad range of insectivorous animals. Commonly fed to:

• Bearded Dragons
• Water Dragons
• Basilisks
• Monitor Lizards
• Skinks
• Turtles
• Large amphibians including Pacman Frogs and Bullfrogs
• Insectivorous invertebrates such as mantis and tarantulas

Packaging and Transit

Crickets arrive in vented tubs with egg carton cardboard included to increase surface area and reduce the risk of overcrowding or trampling. Small air holes along the sides maintain airflow while keeping the insects securely contained. During warmer months, the outer box may include additional ventilation perforations; in colder periods, a heat pack may be added to help maintain a suitable temperature through transit.

Keeping Them in Good Condition

Store your crickets at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and draughts. Feed them regularly with fresh leafy greens, carrot, squash, or sweet potato — this maintains their hydration and nutritional content right up to feeding. Remove any uneaten food daily to prevent mould and keep conditions clean. Well-maintained crickets deliver significantly better nutritional value to your animals.

Pack Options

Available in two pack sizes to suit different feeding schedules and collection sizes. Whether you're feeding a single adult lizard or maintaining a larger collection, choose the option that best matches your regular livefood turnover — fresher is always better for both cricket health and feeder nutrition.

Viperia's livefood is farm-bred and dispatched promptly, so you can feed with confidence knowing your animals are receiving a clean, nutritious, and ethically sourced feeder insect.
