Tired of cricket die-off? Read our guide: How to Keep Crickets Alive.
The best quality live crickets in SA, guaranteed. We pack your crickets on the same day your order ships — never stock that's been sitting on a shelf for days or weeks — so they arrive active, healthy and ready to feed.
Every size, for every animal
From pinhead crickets for hatchling geckos, mantids and baby chameleons through to adults for bearded dragons, water dragons, tarantulas, scorpions and birds. Available by the 500ml, 1L and 2L tub across all sizes.
Why crickets remain a staple feeder
- Excellent protein-to-fat ratio for everyday feeding
- Their movement triggers a strong feeding response — great for fussy eaters
- Easy to gut-load: whatever the cricket eats, your pet eats

Getting the most out of your crickets
Gut-load for 24 hours before feeding using our Roach/Cricket Chow, and provide moisture with water crystals (crickets drown easily in open water). Keep them in a well-ventilated container with egg trays for surface area, at room temperature. Dust with calcium at feeding time.
Which size do I need?
A good rule: feed insects no longer than the space between your reptile's eyes. When in doubt, size down.
