Locust as Reptile Food

Our locust are part of the main staple of many reptile and amphibian diets. They are easy to catch, highly nutritious and quite easy to digest making them perfect for daily feeding. Our locust are dispatched direct from the breeder and will be gut loaded before packing to make sure that they are as nutritious as possible on arrival.

X-Large locust are the perfect size for bearded dragons, water dragons, geckos, turtles, monitors lizards, chameleons and many insectivorous invertebrates (e.g. mantis and tarantulas). In store we use the x-large locust with our bearded dragons, water dragons, adult turtles and adult chameleons.

This product will be delivered in a white plastic weave bag with a full sheet of egg-box cardboard inside. In some cases a small amount of bran is also added to the parcel. The eggbox inside increases surface area for the insects to stand on reducing the risk of trampling. The plastic mesh bag allows air in and out of the bag while keeping the risk of escape low. During the summer months the outer cardboard box may also include perforations to keep them cool while in colder months we may include a plain white heatpack.

You'll love them because:

• We guarantee freshness or your money back
• They are farm bred in ethical conditions.
• They are pre-fed to ensure your reptile is getting a healthy and nutritious meal.
• Delivered straight to your door in good time.

We recommend x-large locust for the following animal types:

• Bearded dragons
• Water dragons
• Monitor lizards
• Chameleons
• Adult turtles

If you want to keep the locust as nutritious as possible we would recommend you continue to feed them on a nutritious vegetable diet or with insect foods. For more information on the diet please consult our livefood caresheet.
