Περιγραφή

For many pet owners and hobbyists locust are the number one choice for their reptiles. Being colorful and highly active locust make an enticing meal for may reptiles and amphibians. As they are widely available and relatively inexpensive they are a great basis for a live food diet. Here at the Northampton Reptile Centre they are one of our best sellers!

Locust often clash head to head with silent brown crickets for the best staple live food as they are both nutritious, non aggressive and have a good longevity. Where locust really perform is in arousing interest in your pet. With their vibrant colour from white to yellow and generally hyperactive nature these insects are great for tempting lazy reptiles from their basking spots. They are also extremely easy to keep, with a small water source, some basic food and a plastic container at room temperature you can keep these insects active and healthy for a number of weeks.
