Extra-large locusts (Schistocerca gregaria, Insect Length 35–50mm) provide a highly nutritious and stimulating live food option for medium to large reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates. Their powerful hopping and active movement encourage natural hunting behaviours, offering both exercise and enrichment in the enclosure. These locusts are ideal for reptiles that require a larger prey size and benefit from a more substantial meal, making them a key part of a varied diet.
- Active movement promotes natural hunting behaviour and exercise
- High in protein with moderate fat content
- Suitable for medium to large reptiles and amphibians
- Excellent for adding variety and stimulation to feeding routines
Extra-large locusts should be gut-loaded using ProRep Bug Grub or Reptile Systems Insect Food, and dusted with ProRep Calci Dust or NutriRep immediately before feeding to enhance nutritional value. Their vigorous activity encourages reptiles to exhibit natural foraging and feeding behaviours, providing valuable stimulation.
