Live Black Field Crickets Bulk-Bags

The Live Black Field Crickets Bulk-Bags offer a powerful combination of nutrition, activity, and durability, ideal for pet owners, breeders, zoos, and educational programs needing a hardy live insect feeder, Known for their bold movement and loud stridulation, these crickets are perfect for stimulating feeding behaviors in reptiles, amphibians, arachnids, birds, and even some fish species,

Black field crickets are larger and more robust than standard brown or house crickets, Their lively motion and stronger chirping sound make them especially effective in triggering hunting instincts, Whether you’re feeding adult bearded dragons, leopard geckos, frogs, monitors, tarantulas, or insectivorous birds, these crickets will catch their attention fast, while delivering high protein, natural moisture, and essential nutrients in every bite,

Each bulk bag contains a large quantity of live, active black field crickets, professionally packed with breathable ventilation and a bran substrate that keeps them stable during transport, These crickets are gut-loaded before shipping with high-quality food to ensure they arrive nutrient-rich and ready to feed, For best results, you can continue to gut-load them at home using leafy greens, carrots, squash, or cricket diets to maximize the health benefits for your animals,

Black field crickets are especially valued for their size, strength, and high chitin content, This makes them ideal for larger predators that require more substantial feeders, Unlike soft-bodied insects, these crickets provide enrichment through crunch and resistance, which promotes jaw strength and mental stimulation in captive animals,

While these crickets are more active and audible than silent brown crickets, they’re still manageable, They thrive in warm, dry enclosures, with cardboard egg crates for hiding, and hydration sources like gel cubes or moist vegetables, If kept properly between 24°C–30°C with good airflow, they can survive for 2 to 3 weeks after arrival,

Bulk-bag packaging is perfect for high-volume use, ideal for institutions, breeders, or pet owners managing multiple animals, Buying in bulk also saves on per-unit cost, and reduces the frequency of reordering, ensuring you always have healthy feeders on hand when your animals need them,

Whether you’re an experienced keeper or just starting out, Live Black Field Crickets are a reliable and powerful feeder option, They’re natural, sustainable, and widely accepted by a broad range of insectivorous species,
