NutriCricket Live Banded Crickets, 110, Small 1/4 to 3/8 Inch, live feeder insects

Counted out at 110 insects, every cricket in this order is a small one, with a body length of roughly 1/4 to 3/8 inch once legs and antennae are left out of the measurement. Reptiles that eat insects are the main audience, and the brand names leopard geckos and bearded dragons; amphibians, birds and fish take them too. Because the insects arrive alive, the size you pick should match the pet you are feeding.

Getting the crickets out of the bag

Have a ventilated, escape-resistant enclosure ready before you open the cotton bag, since the crickets can move as soon as the bag is open. Open the bag inside that enclosure and transfer the insects across carefully. No care instructions come with the shipment, so the enclosure and the handling are yours to prepare in advance.

Once the crickets are in, keep them in a ventilated enclosure with suitable food and moisture. Individual size and activity vary from one cricket to the next, so the small grade is a range rather than a fixed measurement for every insect.

Does this size suit your pet?

Pick a cricket size that fits the animal you are feeding, and check that against the 1/4 to 3/8 inch body length of this small grade before ordering. A pet that does not take insects is not the audience for this order. If your animal needs larger prey, this small size falls short of it.

What arrives in the 110-cricket order

• 110 live banded crickets, graded small at about 1/4 to 3/8 inch
• A cotton bag holding the crickets
• An outer box around the bag

How the shipment and the insects behave

The crickets travel in a cotton bag packed inside a box, and the bag is opened within the enclosure rather than outside it. Sizes vary slightly within the small grade, so the insects in one order sit close to the stated range rather than matching it exactly.

Activity differs between individual crickets, which matters when you tip them out of the bag. Alongside leopard geckos and bearded dragons, the brand lists amphibians, birds and fish as animals that take these feeder insects.
