Frozen crickets (Acheta domesticus)

This frozen cricket feed suits keepers of insectivorous reptiles, amphibians, birds, hedgehogs and fish who need a constant source of animal food without maintaining their own insect culture. Freezing lets you keep a stock on hand and portion out the amount needed for the number of animals you feed.

Why it matters

• Shock-frozen and unblanched: the crickets are frozen quickly without blanching, which keeps their original composition and allows long-term storage in a freezer.
• Sieved before packing: legs are removed during sieving, which reduces hard leftovers in the feed.
• Three size variants: Medium, Medium-large (Subadult) and Large (Adult), so you can match prey size to the animal.
• Portioning: each pack is 500 g, so you can thaw only the quantity your animals need at a given feeding.

What it works with

The medium and medium-large variants are intended for smaller animals, while the large variant suits bigger animals that take prey of that size. The supplier notes that crickets are a source of protein and fat, and their nutritional value depends on the developmental stage and rearing conditions. Crickets are not a complete diet and may need supplementation; for wild, injured or weakened animals, consult a veterinarian or rehabilitation specialist.
