WE BREED 500,000 BLACK CRICKETS EVERY WEEK ORDERS PLACED BEFORE NOON MONDAY-THURSDAY

Black crickets or Gryllus Bimaculatis are native to southern Europe. Each and every week throughout the year, Livefoods Direct breeds a minimum of 500,000 black crickets for its UK customers. Black crickets provide a highly nutritious diet (58.4% protein as a % of dry matter) for both birds and reptiles. Black crickets are bred on Progrub, a protein rich meal blended specially for cricket rearing by Livefoods Direct. Black crickets have an amazing growth rate, from hatching from its egg pod to being able to reproduce itself only takes a black cricket 35-42 days under ideal conditions.

Black crickets are available in 6 sizes:

Black crickets can be purchased in different sizes and different packs depending on the quantity and the size the customer requires. Packs vary from plastic pre pack tubs containing as few as 30 adult crickets to cloth sacks of crickets containing up to 1,000 of whatever size cricket the customer requires.

Black crickets should be stored in a cool, dry, dark place - ideally between 16-20 degrees centigrade. Black crickets that have been travelling overnight by courier or in the post need to be transferred to suitable storage containers on arrival. A deep container with smooth sides such as a glass or plastic tank with a very well ventilated but tight fitting lid is ideal. The crickets need perching areas to reduce stress. These can be provided in the form of cardboard egg trays which are ideal. A small saucer of Progrub placed in the tank will provide the crickets all the nutrition they need. Water can be given to the crickets by providing Solidwater gel available from Livefoods Direct.

Because black crickets are a European field species they are fairly hardy and travel reasonably well in moderately cold weather. However the crickets may appear dead on arrival if temperatures fall below zero degrees Celsius in transit. If this should happen the crickets should be left in their shipping container and moved to a very warm room immediately. After 30 minutes the crickets should recover and can be handled and transferred to their storage container in the normal manner.
