Welcome to the world of live feeders!
Your crickets are fresh, lively, and packed with nutrition — now let’s keep them that way.
Good care = healthier crickets = healthier reptiles
Step 1: Set Them Up Properly
As soon as your crickets arrive:
✅ Transfer them into a well-ventilated container
✅ Add egg cartons for space and airflow
✅ Keep them out of direct sunlight
Crickets don’t like being cramped — give them room and they’ll last longer.
Step 2: Feed Your Crickets (Gut Loading)
Healthy crickets = better nutrition for your reptile.
Feed them:
- Carrot
- Leafy greens
- Bug Boost Pellets (best option)
Tip: Remove old food before it goes mouldy
Step 3: Hydration (VERY Important)
Crickets need water — but they’re not great swimmers
✅ Use:
- Hydration gels (InsectaSip)
❌ Avoid:
- Open water bowls (they WILL drown)
Step 4: Keep Them Warm
Crickets thrive in warmth:
Ideal temperature: 24–28°C
Too cold = slow, weak crickets
Too hot = short lifespan
Room temp is usually fine indoors in Australia
⚠️ Step 5: Avoid These Common Mistakes
Overcrowding
Too much moisture / humidity
Poor ventilation
Leaving dead crickets in the container
Quick tip:
If it smells bad… something’s off.
Step 6: Keep It Clean
- Remove dead crickets regularly
- Replace food often
- Keep container dry
Clean crickets last longer (and smell way better)
Feeding Time Tips
- Feed only what your reptile will eat
- Dust with calcium if needed
- Use feeding tongs or a feeding tub for control
