Exo Terra Wild Grasshoppers XL 34gm 1.2 oz
Exo Terra Wild Grasshoppers XL 34gm 1.2 oz
Whole cooked grasshoppers, canned to lock in scent and nutrition for bigger insectivores. Exo Terra Wild Grasshoppers XL is a single-ingredient canned treat — whole Phymateus saxosus grasshoppers, cooked and sealed to soften the exoskeleton and preserve the aroma that triggers a feeding response. The 34 g can stores on the shelf until opened, with none of the escape risk, smell or daily upkeep of a live insect colony.
Key features
- Single ingredient — grasshoppers (Phymateus saxosus), nothing else in the can.
- Cooked, not raw — the cooking process softens the exoskeleton and breaks down collagen, which Exo Terra states makes the insects easier to digest than a live equivalent.
- Shelf-stable until opened — no live culture to feed, gas or lose to escapees.
- XL size — the largest grasshopper in Exo Terra's Wild canned range, sized for bigger insectivores.
- 34 g can — a single-can portion, easy to split across several feeds.

Suitable for — and not suitable for
Suited to larger insect, snail and shrimp-eating reptiles, turtles, amphibians, fish and birds — bearded dragons, larger monitors, big skinks and similar insectivores. Not a complete or balanced diet on its own: use it as part of a varied feeding routine alongside a staple feeder, with any calcium or vitamin supplementation your species needs, rather than as the sole food source.
Feeding and storage
Offer a few grasshoppers as part of the diet, or as a treat two to three times a week. Discard any uneaten portion after 24 hours. Refrigerate after opening. The best-before date and batch code are printed on the base of the can rather than published on Exo Terra's website, so check the can itself for shelf life before feeding.
Goes well with
- A staple canned or dried feeder insect for regular meals, using this XL grasshopper can as an occasional treat.
- A calcium or multivitamin reptile supplement, dusted onto feeders as part of a balanced diet.
- Feeding tongs — wiggling canned insects triggers a stronger hunting response in movement-focused feeders.
