Locust as Reptile Food
Our locust are part of the main staple of many reptile and amphibian diets. They are easy to catch, highly nutritious and quite easy to digest making them perfect for daily feeding. Our locust are dispatched direct from the breeder and will be gut loaded before packing to make sure that they are as nutritious as possible on arrival.
Medium locust are the perfect size for small dragons, lizards, geckos, fish, frogs and many insectivorous invertebrates (e.g. mantis and tarantulas). In store we use the medium locust with our toads, juvenile geckos, juvenile dragons, tree frogs and baby turtles.
This product will be delivered in a plastic container including a section of egg-box cardboard. Small airholes perforate the side at regular intervals to provide maximum ventilation with minimal chance of escape. The eggbox inside increases surface area for the insects to stand on reducing the risk of trampling. During the summer months the outer cardboard box may also include perforations to keep them cool while in colder months we may include a plain white heatpack.
You'll love them because:
- We guarantee freshness or your money back
- They are farm bred in ethical conditions.
- They are pre-fed to ensure your reptile is getting a healthy and nutritious meal.
- Delivered straight to your door in good time.
We recommend medium locust for the following animal types:
- Tree Frogs

If you want to keep the locust as nutritious as possible we would recommend you continue to feed them on a nutritious vegetable diet or with insect foods. For more information on the diet please consult our livefood caresheet.
