Exo Terra Wild Male Grasshoppers Small 34gm 1.2 oz
Exo Terra Wild Male Grasshoppers Small 34gm 1.2 oz
A smaller canned grasshopper, sized for smaller insectivores. Exo Terra Wild Grasshoppers Small is a single-ingredient canned treat — whole Phymateus saxosus grasshoppers, cooked and sealed to soften the exoskeleton and preserve the scent that triggers feeding. The 34 g can needs no refrigeration until opened, and there's no live culture to maintain, gas or escape.
Key features
- Single ingredient — grasshoppers (Phymateus saxosus), nothing else added.
- Cooked, not raw — softens the exoskeleton and breaks down collagen, which Exo Terra states improves digestibility over a live equivalent.
- Smaller size — sized for insectivores that would struggle with the XL grasshopper in this range.
- Shelf-stable until opened — no live insect colony to keep.
- 34 g can — portioned for several feeds.

Suitable for — and not suitable for
Exo Terra lists this feeder as suitable for insect, snail or shrimp-eating reptiles, turtles, amphibians, fish and birds. Not a complete or balanced diet on its own — use it as part of a varied feeding routine with appropriate calcium and vitamin supplementation, not 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. Best-before date and batch code are printed on the base of the can rather than published on Exo Terra's website — check the can itself before feeding.
Goes well with
- A staple canned or dried feeder insect, with this can used as an occasional treat.
- A calcium or multivitamin reptile supplement, dusted onto feeders.
- Feeding tongs — wiggling canned insects triggers a stronger hunting response in movement-focused feeders.

Common questions
How does this differ from the XL grasshopper can?
Same species and the same published protein, fat and moisture figures — the difference is the size of the insect itself, which suits smaller-mouthed insectivores that would struggle with the XL size.
Is this a complete diet?
No — use it as part of a varied diet with the calcium and vitamin supplementation your species needs.
Does this need refrigeration before opening?
No — it's shelf-stable unopened. Refrigerate after opening and discard uneaten portions within 24 hours.
What isn't published about this product?
Crude fibre, ash, calcium, phosphorus and country of manufacture aren't stated by Exo Terra for this can — we've left them out rather than estimate.
