Exo Terra Crickets Small 34gm 1.2 oz
Cooked crickets, ready in the can — no colony to keep. Exo Terra Canned Crickets (Small, 34 g) are whole crickets (Gryllidae) cooked in the can to preserve their natural aroma and nutrition, giving insect-eating reptiles, turtles, amphibians, fish and birds a feeder with no live culture to maintain, no chirping and no escapees.
Key features
- Single ingredient — crickets (Gryllidae), nothing else declared on the label.
- Cooked in the can — softens the exoskeleton for easier digestion, and needs no refrigeration until opened.
- Small cricket size — the smaller size in Exo Terra's canned cricket range, alongside the X-Large can.
- No live-feeder upkeep — no gut-loading, no colony to maintain, nothing escaping into the house.
- 34 g can — sized for topping up a varied diet rather than as a sole food source.

Exo Terra does not publish crude fibre, ash or calcium/phosphorus figures for this product, so no calcium-to-phosphorus ratio can be stated here. Dust with a separate calcium and vitamin supplement rather than assuming this can provides one.

Feeding and directions
Feed a few crickets as part of a varied diet, or as a treat two to three times a week. Discard any uneaten portion after 24 hours. Refrigerate the can once opened.
Suitable for, and not suitable for
Suited to insect-eating reptiles, turtles, amphibians, fish and birds, offered as part of a varied diet or as an occasional treat rather than a sole food source. Not a complete diet on its own — Exo Terra does not market it as one, and it carries no calcium or vitamin fortification declaration.
Goes well with
- A calcium and vitamin supplement, dusted onto feeders before offering
- Exo Terra Canned Crickets X-Large, for larger insect eaters in the same household
- Fresh greens and a formulated pellet diet, so this stays a treat rather than the main food
Warranty and delivery
Covered by your rights under Australian Consumer Law as a packaged pet food product. Ships standard.
Common questions
Do I still need to gut-load or dust these crickets?
Dusting is still worth doing — the can carries no added calcium or vitamins, so a calcium and vitamin dust before feeding covers what the canning process doesn't.
Can I use this as my reptile's main food?
No. Exo Terra markets it as part of a varied diet or a treat fed two to three times a week, not a complete diet.
How is this different from the X-Large can?
Same single ingredient and cooking process — the difference is cricket size, with Small suiting smaller-mouthed feeders and X-Large suiting larger ones.
Do I need to refrigerate the can before opening?
No — refrigeration is only specified after opening, per the manufacturer's instructions.
