Live Crickets

Live Crickets

Crickets are natural prey for many reptiles, amphibians, arachnids, and other exotic pets. We pride ourselves on providing our crickets with ideal living environments, high quality food, and lots of TLC. Our live crickets (Acheta domesticus) are healthy, active, and nutritious.

The live crickets we provide for your pets are the same high quality protein source we use to make cricket flour and snacks for people!
