Locust as Reptile Food

Our locust are part of the main livefood diet of many reptile and amphibian diets. They are easy to catch, highly nutritious and quite easy to digest making them perfect for daily feeding. Our locust are dispatched direct from the breeder and will be gut loaded before packing to make sure that they are as nutritious as possible on arrival.

Small locust are very small so they are the perfect size for small reptiles, small amphibians, fish and many insectivorous invertebrates (e.g. mantis and tarantulas). In store we use the small locust with all of our juvenile bearded dragons and geckos. They are particularly good for dart frogs and toads.

This product will be delivered in a plastic container including a section of egg-box cardboard. Small airholes perforate the side at regular intervals to provide maximum ventilation with minimal chance of escape. The eggbox inside increases surface area for the insects to stand on reducing the risk of trampling. During the summer months the outer cardboard box may also include perforations to keep them cool while in colder months we may include a plain white heatpack.

You'll love them because:

• We guarantee freshness or your money back
• They are farm bred in ethical conditions.
• They are pre-fed to ensure your reptile is getting a healthy and nutritious meal.
• Delivered straight to your door in good time.

We recommend small locust for the following animal types:

• Tree Frogs
• Baby Chameleons
• Small Spiders
• Baby Bearded Dragons
• Baby Leopard Geckos
• Baby Crested Geckos

If you want to keep the locust as nutritious as possible we would recommend you continue to feed them on a nutritious vegetable diet or with insect foods. For more information on the diet please consult our livefood caresheet.
