Looking to buy locusts online for your large pet lizard such as an adult bearded dragon, water dragon, frilled dragon, bosc monitor, etc ? Then look no further than our Adult Locusts. Adult locusts are an excellent livefood for reptiles such as these as they are large ( 2-3 inches long ) and meaty!
Be carefull though Adult locusts can fly and very well! If one manages to jump out of your pet lizards vivarium at feeding time you may need to chase it round the house for a few minutes. On the subject of being carefull make sure you only feed these to large Lizards such as those mentioned earlier (adult bearded dragons, adult water dragons, bosc monitors etc) as they have long sharp powerfull back legs if your pet reptile doesnt have jaws large enough to crush these up it may have a problem swallowing its dinner of adult locusts!
How to look after adult locusts, We only send freshly moulted adult locusts so they will have only been adult for about a week or so (we dont send out our half dead ex-breeders like some do - we feed those to our own reptiles) . Once they reach the adult stage locusts will live for a further 2-3 weeks but only if transferred to a suitable rearing cage they wll only live for about a week in the livefood tub as there isnt enough space for them to move in the livefood tubs.
Ideally you will feed these adult locusts to your pet lizard upon delivery, one of the biggest mistakes our customers can make and one that we get most feedback on is that some customers buy adult locusts online and then try and feed them off to their pet lizard one every few days but by the time they get to the end of the tub a few have died. This is simply because they are too big to live in a plastic livefood tub, unless they are transferred to a ventilated cage with heating and fresh green food given to them everyday they will not survive long, so when they are delivered just give your lizard a treat and use them as feed within the first couple of days from delivery.
If you buy a tub of adult locusts online you will receive 6 adult locusts in the livefood tub, for a more cost effective way of purchasing adult locusts have a look at our Multi- Buy Options or buying in bulk.
