High-Quality Live Nutrition

Stoffels Domesticus crickets are the gold standard for live feeding. Unlike some other species, the Acheta domesticus is preferred by many keepers due to its high protein content and lower fat levels compared to mealworms. Their softer shells ensure that even younger or more sensitive pets can digest them without the risk of impaction.

Why Choose Stoffels Size 6 Crickets?

• Optimal Size: Size 6 represents the “Large” category. These are robust, meaty feeders that provide a substantial meal for growing and adult insectivores.

• Active Prey: These crickets move quickly, which encourages your pet to exercise and engage in natural foraging behavior.

• Gut-Loaded Potential: Stoffels crickets arrive healthy and ready to be gut-loaded with high-quality vegetables or vitamin supplements to boost the nutritional value passed on to your pet.

Beginner’s Care & Handling Guide

If you are new to keeping live food, follow these simple steps to keep your crickets healthy until they are fed to your pet:

1. Transfer: Upon arrival, move the crickets from the shipping box into a dedicated “Cricket Keeper” or a well-ventilated plastic bin.

2. Hydration: Do not use open water bowls, as crickets drown easily. Instead, use a specialized bug gel or a slice of fresh carrot/potato.

3. Food: Provide bran, oats, or a professional cricket diet to keep them nutrient-dense.

4. Temperature: Keep them in a dark, dry place at room temperature. If they get too cold, they will become sluggish; if too hot, their lifespan decreases.

Pro Tip: Always “dust” your crickets with Calcium or Vitamin D3 powder immediately before feeding to ensure your reptile’s bone health!
