Black Crickets (Live)

Live Black Crickets – Hardy, Nutritious & Lively Feeder Insects

Our live black crickets are an excellent choice for feeding reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates. With their robust build and high moisture content, they provide a well-balanced diet while encouraging natural hunting behaviors. These crickets are particularly hardy and tolerate colder temperatures better than other species, making them a reliable live food option year-round.

We offer black crickets in multiple sizes to suit reptiles at different life stages:

• Hatchlings: 1-2mm
• 1st Instar: 3-5mm
• 2nd Instar: 6-8mm
• 3rd Instar: 8-10mm
• 4th Instar: 12-14mm
• Standard: 15-18mm
• Large: 19-22mm

Caring for Live Black Crickets Upon Arrival

To ensure your crickets arrive in the best possible condition, we use insulated packaging, and in colder months, heat packs when necessary. However, due to their cold-blooded nature, black crickets may become sluggish or appear inactive upon arrival—this is normal.

How to Revive Cold Black Crickets

Follow these steps to help your crickets become active again:
1️⃣ Remove them from the packaging and allow fresh air circulation.
2️⃣ Keep them at room temperature (18°C-25°C).
3️⃣ Avoid placing them near direct heat sources, as sudden warming can be harmful.
4️⃣ If packed in bulk, gently shake the bag to distribute them evenly.
5️⃣ Allow several hours for recovery—most crickets will regain full activity once warmed gradually.
