Adult locusts (Schistocerca gregaria, Insect Length 60–80mm) are a premium, high-protein feeder insect ideal for medium to large reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates. Their powerful jumping ability and active movement naturally stimulate hunting behaviour, providing essential physical and mental enrichment in captivity. As fully mature insects, adult locusts are substantial in size and make a satisfying meal for larger species. When used as part of a varied diet, they contribute to healthy growth, energy, and natural feeding responses.
• Highly active prey that encourages natural hunting behaviour and exercise
• Excellent source of protein and energy
• Ideal for medium to large reptiles and amphibians
• Contributes to varied and enriching feeding routines
For optimal nutrition, adult locusts should be gut-loaded using ProRep Bug Grub or Reptile Systems Insect Food, and lightly dusted with ProRep Calci Dust or NutriRep before feeding. Their energetic nature promotes natural predatory behaviour and activity, making them a beneficial enrichment item in general or display enclosures.
