Adult locusts (Schistocerca gregaria, Insect Length 60–80mm) are a highly nutritious and engaging live food for a wide range of reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates. Their large size and powerful movement make them ideal for medium to large species, providing both a substantial meal and stimulating enrichment. The strong hopping and climbing instincts of adult locusts encourage natural hunting behaviours, supporting physical and mental activity within the enclosure. When used as part of a varied diet, they contribute valuable protein and energy for growth and vitality.
• Energetic prey that stimulates natural hunting and exercise
• High in protein with moderate fat content
• Ideal for medium to large reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates
• Excellent for creating an enriching, natural feeding experience
For best results, adult locusts should be gut-loaded with ProRep Bug Grub or Reptile Systems Insect Food, and lightly dusted with ProRep Calci Dust or NutriRep before feeding. Their active nature not only encourages natural predatory responses but also provides an engaging feeding experience that benefits both reptiles and amphibians. In display or naturalistic setups, adult locusts can add to the realism of feeding, though any uneaten insects should be removed to prevent damage to plants or disturbance of smaller enclosure inhabitants.
