Our live Locusts range includes a selection of live locust products, including bulk locusts, ideal for keeping your pets well-fed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat are Locusts?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLocusts are the most common species of live food in the United Kingdom. They are a very popular food that is more attractive than crickets, doesn't escape as easily, doesn't make as much noise and is available in sizes from 10mm to 80mm. Of all the live insects, they are particularly good for large animals such as Bearded dragons or arboreal animals like Chameleons since they like to climb upwards when placed in a vivarium. Locusts are also packed with protein so they will give your reptile exactly what they need for healthy growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan you buy live Locusts?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, you can buy live Locusts from Swell Reptiles. Our live Locusts are raised fresh and despatched from our live food supplier and sent via Royal Mail. As they are sent by a separate supplier, packages with live food will not come with any other items you order. Locusts are the most popular choice of all the live insects for feeding exotic pets in the UK and are a favourite meal of everything from Bearded dragons to Leopard geckos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo Locusts bite?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLocusts are entirely vegetarian and will rarely bite humans or pets unless provoked. Locusts biting can occur during a feed, however, Locusts can't really harm most lizards. It's recommended that you take any locusts your pet hasn't eaten out of their enclosure after feeding to ensure there's no harm done to your enclosure or your pet. Generally, Locusts are far more likely to damage live plants than any pets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do you keep Locusts alive?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLocusts are quite hardy and require little upkeep to maintain. They are pretty easy to keep, they just need a well-ventilated container kept around 25 degrees celsius, and occasional feed (as too much food can kill them). Most live Locusts live a maximum of 6 months and can be sustained by feeding bran to them every couple of days. It's recommended that you serve live Locusts vegetables and fruit before feeding your reptile to give them a high vegetable gut content that will nourish your pet. A very popular food for Locusts is porridge oats which is an ideal staple diet for medium locusts and large locusts.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peregrine","offers":[{"title":"Extra Large","offer_id":53050768884040,"sku":null,"price":3.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Large","offer_id":53050768916808,"sku":null,"price":3.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Medium","offer_id":53050768949576,"sku":null,"price":3.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Small","offer_id":53050768982344,"sku":null,"price":3.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0865\/1364\/7944\/files\/LocustsWirralAquatics.jpg?v=1793920109"},{"product_id":"live-crickets","title":"Live Crickets","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMulti buy Discounts \u003c\/b\u003e(These discounts are automatically applied when you add the correct number of items to you basket at checkout.)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1x £3.20 each \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2x £6\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4x £11\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThey are easy to catch, highly nutritious and quite easy to digest, making them perfect for daily feeding.

They are packed full of fat and protein, so reptiles will absolutely love them. However, it’s important to limit the number of worms in your pet’s diet to ensure they don’t become too fat.
