Caring for Live Brown Crickets Upon Arrival

To ensure your crickets reach you in the best possible condition, we use protective packaging, and during colder months, we may include insulation or heat packs. However, as cold-blooded insects, brown crickets may appear sluggish or inactive upon arrival—this is completely normal.

How to Restore Activity in Brown Crickets

Follow these simple steps to help your crickets recover:
1️⃣ Unpack them immediately and allow fresh air to circulate.
2️⃣ Keep them at room temperature (18°C-25°C).
3️⃣ Avoid direct heat sources, as sudden warming can be harmful.
4️⃣ If in bulk packaging, gently shake the bag to distribute them evenly.
5️⃣ Give them a few hours—most crickets will become fully active once they adjust.
