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.

Locusts (Schistocerca gregaria) are a fantastic food source for many reptiles and amphibians. They make no noise and grow to a larger size than crickets making them ideal for larger animals. Nutritionally they are similar to crickets but have a higher fat content, we gut load all our locusts on fresh greens before sending them out so that they are ready to use from the moment they arrive.

- An extremely popular source of live food
- Best known for their quiet, non-invasive behaviour
- Available in a wide variety of pack sizes

Care Instructions:
As with all live food, it is essential they are kept healthy. Packed in bran, ensure the locusts are kept at a regular temperature of approximately 60-65F (15-18C) and away from bright light. To encourage the maximum shelf-life, empty into a smooth-sided container with a vented lid. Add broad leafed greens to provide moisture. Proper supplementation should be given prior to feeding to your reptile. 

TOP TIPS 

In order to bring the livefood around, it is important you follow a few simple steps:

  • Unpack the outer boxes and lay out all packs/ tubs so that fresh air can circulate around them
  • Leave the packs/tubs at room temperature.
  • Do not offer external heat as warming up livefood quickly will kill them. This is the most common cause of livefood deaths.
  • 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.
  • Livefood may take several hours to completely recover but 99% of live food will recover fully providing they are treated correctly upon arrival
