Black crickets (Gryllus bimaculatus) are hardy, high-protein feeders ideal for medium to large insectivores. Larger and more robust than brown crickets, they're long-lived, travel well, and their fast, darting movement triggers enthusiastic feeding responses in ground-hunting predators.Packed with approximately 20% protein and moderate fat, they feature a tougher exoskeleton than brown crickets. Remember that the calcium-to-phosphorus ratio requires dusting and gut-loading to ensure balanced nutrition.Perfect for adult bearded dragons, larger geckos, adult chameleons, large frogs and toads, tarantulas, scorpions, and a wide range of other reptiles, amphibians and invertebrates.Quantities are approximate as crickets are scooped rather than counted. Every pack is made to minimum net weight, so larger crickets may mean slightly fewer individuals — we always aim for the quoted quantity as a minimum.Gut-load 24–48 hours before feeding with quality cricket food and fresh vegetables, then dust with calcium and vitamins. House in a ventilated keeper with egg-crate hiding at 20–28°C, provide a gel water source, and remove dead crickets daily. Remove any uneaten crickets from the enclosure—black crickets chirp loudly, can bite, and may stress small or shedding animals.Available in multiple pack sizes to suit your collection needs.
