Live Feeder Crickets for Reptiles and Amphibians, Farm-Raised in Sizes Ranging from Pinhead to Jumbo

Live crickets for reptiles and amphibians let you match feeder size to your animal rather than use one size for every pet. Raised on a family farm in Dunn, North Carolina, these live feeders come in six size selections ranging from tiny pinheads to jumbo crickets.

Choose the size first, then the count offered for that size. Every size has count selections from 25 to 1,000; the 1/8-inch pinhead selection also includes 2,000, 3,000 and 5,000. Counts are measured by volume and may be approximately 10% above or below the selected amount. Larger crickets can also be used as fishing bait.
