Choose the Perfect Cricket Size for Your Pet

Choosing the right cricket size is one of the most important decisions you'll make for your pet's health. Use this guide to match your pet's life stage to the right feeder.

⚠️

Important sizing rule: Never feed your pet a cricket larger than the space between their eyes. Oversized feeders can cause impaction — a serious and potentially fatal digestive blockage. When in doubt, size down.
