Banded Crickets

Live Banded Crickets: The Classic Feeder

Upgrade your pet's diet with Banded Crickets (Gryllodes sigillatus), the hardy, nutritious, and convenient staple feeder insect trusted by reptile and amphibian enthusiasts. Known for their superior quality, these crickets are the active, protein-packed prey your insectivorous pets crave!

Why Choose Banded Crickets?

 * Higher Survival Rate: Unlike common house crickets, banded crickets are naturally heartier and more resistant to common cricket viruses, meaning fewer die-offs and a longer shelf life in your home.

 * Optimal Nutrition: These crickets boast an excellent nutritional profile, typically containing higher protein and a softer exoskeleton compared to other species, making them easier to digest—especially for younger or more sensitive pets.

 * Natural Hunting Stimulation: Banded Crickets are notoriously active and fast, which engages your pet's natural hunting instincts and provides essential mental stimulation and exercise.

 * Less Odor & Noise: Their short wings and less boisterous nature mean they are significantly quieter and produce less ammonia odor than brown house crickets, making them a much better choice for indoor keeping.

Perfect for:

 * Reptiles: Bearded Dragons, Leopard Geckos, Chameleons, Monitors, and more.

 * Amphibians: Frogs, Toads, Newts, and Salamanders.

 * Other Pets: Tarantulas, carnivorous birds, and exotic fish.

Remember to Gut-Load and Dust!

For maximum health benefits, always house your Banded Crickets with a high-quality cricket diet and moisture source, and dust them with a calcium supplement immediately before feeding.

Choose your size and quantity and give your pet the lively, healthy meal they deserve!
