Reptile Team Recommendation

Essential Reptile Supplements

Feeder insects are only one part of a balanced feeding routine. Our reptile team recommends keeping the right calcium, vitamin, mineral and gut-loading products on hand.

Feeding crickets, locusts, dubia roaches or fruit flies? Correct supplementation helps support a balanced feeding routine. Requirements vary by species, age, diet and UVB provision, so ask our reptile team if you are unsure what to use.

Know your live food

The details, all in one place.

Product information and care instructions for this live food.

Monkfield House Brown Crickets are easily digestible due to their soft-bodies. A hardy and cold-tolerant species of cricket means they withstand the winter well. House brown crickets are available in a variety of sizes to cater for reptiles of different weights and stages of development:
- Hatchlings (1-2mm)
- 1st (3-5mm)
- 2nd (6-8mm)
- 3rd (8-10mm)
- 4th (12-14mm)
- Standard (15-18mm)
- Large (19-22mm)

How To Care For Reptile Live Food When It Arrives
During the cold weather we make every effort to ensure that your livefood arrives as warm and active as possible.
We use a variety of packaging methods depending on the severity of the predicted weather.
This may include:
-Heat packs or
-Wrapping of livefood tubs
However, despite our best efforts, your livefood still may arrive looking lifeless. Many of our common livefood species enter a dormant state when exposed to colder weather. As they are cold-blooded, they cannot regulate their body temperature effectively, so will slow down their body process waiting for warmer conditions - Mealworms, Morioworms, Calci worms and Crickets all do this, for example.

Top Tips
In order to bring the livefood around, it is important you follow a few simple steps:
1. Unpack the outer boxes and lay out all packs/ tubs so that fresh air can circulate around them
2. Leave the packs/tubs at room temperature (18?C-25?C)
3. Do not offer external heat as warming up livefood quickly will kill them. This is the most common cause of livefood deaths.
4. For bulk bags of livefood, gently agitate the bag to spread-out the insects within. Leave at room temperature and prop up in a horizontal position.
5. Livefood may take several hours to completely recover but 99% of live food will recover fully providing they are treated correctly upon arrival
