Premium home food with enclosed Gutload food – Vital live food for terrarium animals<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Our Premium House Crickets (Acheta domesticus)<\/b><\/span> are much more than just ordinary feed insects. They come from a <\/span>regional growers<\/b><\/span>are delivered directly to us without long transport routes and are also supplemented with our high-quality <\/span>Gutload feed<\/b><\/span> equipped. This ensures you get particularly healthy crickets that provide your terrarium animals with an optimal supply of essential nutrients. <\/span><\/p>\n

Crickets are among the most popular live foods in the terrarium hobby. They are high in protein, easy to digest, and are readily accepted by many reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates. At the same time, their active movements stimulate your animals\u2019 natural hunting instincts and provide species-appropriate activity. <\/p>\n

Fresh from a local grower<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

Quality starts with the source. That\u2019s why our crickets come from a local breeder who delivers fresh crickets to us every week. Unlike many other feed animals, this eliminates the need for long shipping distances before the crickets even arrive at our facility. <\/p>\n

The animals come every Tuesday<\/b><\/span> They arrive fresh at our facility and are then quickly shipped out. This ensures that you receive particularly healthy and active crickets with the shortest possible supply chain. <\/span><\/p>\n

For this reason, we do not ship crickets on Mondays<\/b><\/span>. This is how we ensure that you always receive the freshest live feed animals possible and that we never ship animals that have been in storage for several days.<\/span><\/p>\n

Exclusive with high-quality Gutload feed<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

Each can also contains our specially developed Gutload food<\/b><\/span>. This allows you to enrich the crickets with important nutrients yourself just before feeding them to your pets.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our Gutload consists of a balanced mix of:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Brewer’s yeast<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Spirulina<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Gammarus<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Spinach powder<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Parsnip powder<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Cuttlefish Shell Powder<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    This allows the crickets to absorb valuable vitamins, minerals, and proteins. They then pass these nutrients directly on to your terrarium animals. <\/p>\n

    Why Gutloading Makes So Much Sense<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

    Many terrarium animals obtain their vitamins and minerals exclusively from their prey. Therefore, the quality of the live food plays a decisive role in their nutrition. <\/p>\n

    Unlike traditional dusting, with gutloading the nutrients aren’t just on the surface. Instead, they are absorbed by the crickets and distributed throughout the entire prey insect. As a result, tarantulas, mantises, and other invertebrates also benefit from a natural supply of nutrients. <\/p>\n

    Furthermore, there is no risk of the powder being knocked off while hunting.<\/p>\n

    Easy to use<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

    It’s very easy to use.<\/p>\n

    This is how it works:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Put Gutload food in the cricket container.<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Let the crickets eat for a few hours.<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Feed immediately afterward.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      This ensures that your terrarium animals receive well-nourished live food with exceptionally high nutritional value.<\/p>\n

      Suitable for many terrarium animals<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

      Premium crickets are suitable for many terrarium inhabitants and are a staple food for many species.<\/p>\n

      Among other things, they are suitable for:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • Reptiles<\/span><\/li>\n
      • Amphibians<\/span><\/li>\n
      • Tarantulas<\/span><\/li>\n
      • Jumping spiders<\/span><\/li>\n
      • Mantids<\/span><\/li>\n
      • Scorpios<\/span><\/li>\n
      • Geckos<\/span><\/li>\n
      • Frogs<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        This makes them versatile and ensures a varied, natural diet.<\/p>\n

        Easy Handling and Storage<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

        Crickets can be stored for some time without any problems. To do this, keep them in a cool, well-ventilated place. At the same time, you should provide them with food and moisture regularly. This will keep them healthy for longer, and they\u2019ll be ready to feed at any time. <\/p>\n
