Live Feeder Insects
Great For Many Pets
Acheta Domesticus are an excellent source of protein and are very easily “gut-loaded” with calcium and other important vitamins for your pets.
Bearded Dragons Leopard Geckos Chameleons Lizards Frogs Small Birds & Many More Pets!
Cricket (Acheta domesticus)
Acheta Domesticus
A Cricket (Acheta domesticus) is an insect with distant relations to the grasshopper, and are found almost all over the world! They can range in size, but a Fluker cricket can get up to an inch in length. Pick the size that best fits your pet’s needs!
Small – Approx. 1/4″ Medium – Approx. 1/2″ Large – Approx. 3/4″
Caring For Feeder Insects
Gut-loading
You should gut-load Acheta Domesticus with Fluker’s High Calcium Cricket Diet 24 hours before introducing them to the reptile. You could also mix half of the High Calcium Cricket Diet with half of the Cricket Diet.
Temperature
The optimum temperature range for Acheta Domesticus should be 70°-75°F during the day and at night. This is necessary for their metabolism and immune system to function properly.
Substrates
A bulk of one thousand Acheta Domesticus will require at least a 10-gallon aquarium. Suitable substrates for your cricket homes include egg crates and orchid bark. You should also provide dark places for hiding. It is important to clean the cage out at least once a week, or between cricket shipments.
Feeding Your Pet
Feeder insects should be no larger than the space between your pet’s eyes.

Mealworms – (Tenebrio molitor)
Mealworms (Tenebrio molitor) are the larvae of mealworm beetles and are an abundant food source for many animals. Birds, spiders, reptiles, even other insects prey on mealworms to find a high protein and fat source in the wild, and it is much the same in captivity!
Superworms – (Zophobas Morio)
Superworms are the larvae of a darkling beetle, Zophobas morio. Not to be confused with giant mealworms, which are mealworms sprayed with a juvenile hormone, superworms are a great source of calcium, fat and fiber.
Live Hornworms – (Manduca sexta)
Hornworms are an excellent feeder treat for bearded dragons, leopard geckos, chameleons, and various other reptiles and pets. Their bright green color stimulates picky eaters, and they are extremely low maintenance.
Soldier Fly Larvae – (Hermetia illucens)
Soldier Worms, the live larvae of the black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens), are a naturally nutritious, protein-packed, calcium-rich treat for your pet. Their balanced Calcium to Phosphorus ratio is ideal for reptiles (without the need for dusting), and can help prevent Metabolic Bone Disease.
