What is a Live Locusts Bulk-Pack?
Live Locusts Bulk-Packs are large, ready-to-use bundles of live locusts bred specifically as nutritious food for reptiles, amphibians and other exotic pets. Locusts are an excellent alternative to crickets — slower moving, easy to handle, and highly palatable for many species.
Locusts are ideal for animals with mobility issues or slower strike speeds because they still move enough to trigger feeding behaviour without being overly fast. Their higher protein content is especially beneficial for egg-laying species like bearded dragons. Easy to identify by their bright yellow wing cases, locusts offer great value and reliable nutrition.
Why buy locusts in bulk?
Buying locusts in bulk is cost-effective and convenient. Kept properly, locusts can survive for a month or longer, and they grow quickly — small adults will become larger over time, giving you a sustainable livefood source. If you have space and the resources to care for them (simple water and a vegetarian diet), a bulk pack is the most efficient way to stock up.
Are locusts a good live food choice?
Yes — locusts are excellent feeders for many reptiles including water dragons, large chameleons, and other medium-to-large lizards. Unlike some insects that bite, locusts are vegetarian and generally only pinch in defence; their slower movement makes them easy prey. Because they eat plant matter, they have a beneficial vegetable gut content which adds nutrition when fed to your pets.
Feeding & care tips for your locusts
-
Feed locusts a vegetarian diet — fruit and vegetables are ideal for gut-loading.
-
Avoid any grass, plants or produce treated with insecticides.
-
Sweet fruits are often favoured and help boost vitamin content for your insects.
-
Provide a shallow water source or damp sponge to prevent dehydration (do not drown them).
