- You can also feed high protein chicken pellets or mash, but will need to add a water source.
- Use a sponge or Scotch pad in water – DO NOT leave open water as they will drown.
- Smaller crickets need softer feeds, such as lettuce.
- Replace the food & water every few days to keep it clean & fresh.
- You can also feed high protein chicken pellets or mash, but will need to add a water source.
- Crickets like warm environments 25°C – 30°C, but high humidity will create mould problems in the container. Good ventilation is key!
Which animals eat crickets?
- Crickets are great for lizards, amphibians, spiders/arachnids, fish, and most birds. They love the movement and stimulate their natural hunting behaviour.
- Variety is the key to a healthy and happy pet. So feed them a variety of insect species (Woodies, Black Soldier Fly larvae, mealworms, etc.). Different insect species provide varying hunting behaviours to keep them stimulated and happy.
