Livefoods4u House Brown Crickets

A Diet Staple Live Food for your Reptile

Scientifically known as Acheta domesticus, house Brown crickets are a highly nutritious food source for reptiles. They are rich in protein, and contain important vitamins and minerals, such as calcium and phosphorus. In addition are relatively low in fat, and easy to digest, which can be important for reptiles with sensitive digestive systems. Live Food also helps to stimulate natural hunting instincts. This can be particularly important for captive reptiles, as it can help to keep them mentally and physically stimulated.

Live Food Care

Keep in an appropriately sized ventilated container with a lid around 25-30 degrees Celsius. Crickets don't need any substrates, but offer somewhere for them to hide such as cardboard tubes. Dry foods should always be available, and offer fresh fruit or veg, or bug gel for hydration. Do not offer water in a dish as they may drown. Before feeding to your reptile dust with an appropriate supplement.

Summary

Livefoods4u Live House Brown Crickets are high in protein, a good source of other essential nutrients, encourages natural behaviours, and fairly low maintenance, they are a great live food diet staple for your pet.

  • Place the pre-packs in a warm dry room (15-25 degrees centigrade)
  • Do not apply external heat

Are you looking for smaller sizes

At Livefoods4u, our larger Silent brown crickets are a different species. We specifically breed Silent Brown Crickets (Gryllus assimilis) for larger sizes as they are a bigger species than our House Brown Crickets (Acheta domesticus). Please check our Silent Crickets in our Amazon store if you're looking for standard, large, or extra large crickets. We also have black crickets (Grylls Bimaculatus).

The Life Cycle of a Silent Brown Cricket

Silent brown crickets undergo a simple life cycle that includes three stages: egg, nymph, and adult. The female cricket lays her eggs, and the eggs hatch in about 14-21 days. The nymphs emerge from the eggs and molt (shed their skin) several times as they grow. The entire life cycle from egg to adult takes approximately 6-8 weeks, depending on the temperature and humidity.

A Nutritious Live Food for Reptiles

Livefoods4u Silent Brown Crickets are a great nutritious staple food for many reptiles including Bearded Dragons, Geckos, Skinks and Chameleons. They are high in protein, a good source of fat which is important for energy, and rich in a variety of vitamins and minerals such as calcium, Iron, magnesium, potassium, and B12. Silent Brown crickets are easily digestible due to their soft exoskeleton, and high fibre content. 68.8% Moisture, 9.3% Fat, 0.17% Calcium, 16.4% Protein, 0.77 Ca:P Ratio

Encouraging Natural Behaviours

Feeding live Silent Crickets to reptiles can help improve their overall health and well-being. Most reptiles are predators by nature, wired to hunt and capture their prey. Live crickets give them an opportunity to engage in natural behaviours, keeping them mentally simulated, and a chance to get regular exercise. Without the chance to engage in these behaviours, reptiles can become bored and lethargic, leading to health issues.

House or Silent, What's the Difference

House Browns crickets (Acheta Domestica) and Silent Brown crickets (Gryllus Assimilis) share many similarities in that they are both commonly referred to as field crickets and belong to the order Orthoptera, are nocturnal, have a similar diet of vegetation, and are a good live food diet staple. The main differences are that house browns are smaller in size, with a smaller antenna, are more docile, and lighter in colour compared to silents. Noise is also a big difference, while Silents are not in fact silent, they are quieter than House browns, and other crickets. Both are popular, and your pets' requirements will determine what is the best choice.
