Live Banded Crickets Shipped Fresh from Our Family Farm
Order farm-raised live banded crickets for reptiles, amphibians, birds, and fishing. We focus on Gryllodes Sigillatus banded crickets because they are hardy, active, protein-rich feeders that ship well and encourage natural hunting behavior.
- Live-arrival guarantee: If the count on arrival is short, send us a photo within 72 hours and we will make it right.

- Great for many pets: A strong feeder choice for bearded dragons, leopard geckos, chameleons, frogs, small birds, and other insect-eating animals.

Feeding Guide
Choose the right size: The cricket should be no larger than the space between your pet's eyes. This rule of thumb works well for bearded dragons, leopard geckos, chameleons, frogs, and small birds.
Serving suggestion: Offer as many crickets as your pet will consume in 10 to 15 minutes, then remove extras after feeding.
Keeping Your Crickets Alive Longer
- Housing: Move them to a smooth-sided bin or cricket keeper with egg flats or cardboard tubes for climbing.
- Temperature: Keep them around 75 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit and avoid direct sunlight or drafts.
- Food and hydration: Provide dry cricket chow plus hydration gel or fresh produce. Remove produce before it spoils.
- Cleanliness: Remove dead crickets and waste every few days to reduce odor and mold.
