Live feeder crickets raised in North Carolina.

Counts are measured by volume and may vary slightly due to the nature of live insects. Extreme temperatures can affect transit and holding conditions, so plan your order with local weather in mind.

1 week ≈ 3/16 in. Tiny feeders for hatchlings, small frogs, baby spiders, and nano fish
2 weeks ≈ 1/4 in. Great for juvenile geckos and small insectivores
3 weeks ≈ 3/8 in. Ideal for growing reptiles and medium insectivores
4 weeks ≈ 1/2 in. A versatile “medium” for many reptiles and amphibians
5 weeks ≈ 3/4 in. For larger reptiles and backyard poultry treats
6 weeks ≈ 1 in. For very large reptiles and fishing

Quick tip:
When in doubt between two sizes, choose smaller and offer a few more per feeding. It is safer and easier for most animals to take multiple smaller prey items than a single oversized one.
