Dried insects – crickets

Dried crickets from Eurocrickets suit keepers who need a feed supplement for insectivorous animals but do not want to breed live insects at home. Because the crickets are dried, the stock can be stored and portioned as each animal needs.

Why it matters

• Protein content: according to the manufacturer, about 60% of the product is insect protein.
• No culture required: the dried form replaces live feeder insects, so no crickets need to be kept and bred in the home.
• Fibre and minerals: the crickets naturally contain fibre, vitamins and minerals.
• Size and form choice: two size ranges and versions with or without legs make it possible to match the product to the size of the animal.

What it works with
