The Banded Cricket (Gryllodes sigillatus) - Local pick up only!
Note: 1000 count pre-orders are not ready for pick up until we phone. It may take up to 7 days for availability.
The Banded Cricket offers numerous benefits over other cricket species such as Acheta domesticus: It is robust and thrives well; it provides a lively feeding experience for animals due to its high activity level; it is highly digestible, even at larger sizes; it produces minimal noise, as only adult crickets chirp by rubbing their wings together (not their legs as commonly believed); its short wings contribute to a lesser noise level; it has a lower odor compared to other species, as reported by many satisfied customers; and it poses no threat to animals or humans. To maintain and store these crickets, it is necessary to provide them with a nutritious gut load. Consider trying Repashy's Bug Burger, Arcadia's InsectFuel, Nature Zone's Total Bites, or Fluker's Orange Cube, all of which are available at Stingers Exotics Reptile Specialty.
