Find the right feeder insects for your pet

Different animals need different feeder sizes, textures, and feeding routines. Use this quick guide to narrow your choices, then select insects no larger than the space between your pet's eyes unless your veterinarian or species-specific care guide recommends otherwise.

Bearded dragons

Good everyday choices: Banded crickets, Dubia roaches, and black soldier fly larvae. Add superworms or hornworms for variety. Juveniles generally need smaller feeders and more frequent insect meals than adults.

Leopard geckos and other insect-eating geckos

Good everyday choices: Banded crickets, Dubia roaches, mealworms, and black soldier fly larvae. Waxworms and hornworms add occasional variety.

Chameleons

Good choices: Banded crickets, Dubia roaches, black soldier fly larvae, and hornworms. Offering several feeder types helps encourage natural hunting behavior and dietary variety.

Frogs and amphibians

Good choices: appropriately sized Banded crickets, Dubia roaches, and mealworms. Feeding needs vary widely by species, so confirm the correct feeder size and frequency for your animal.

Birds and backyard chickens

Good choices: mealworms, black soldier fly larvae, and crickets. For convenient storage, explore our freeze-dried insect selection.

Fish

Many insect-eating fish enjoy appropriately sized insects as part of a varied diet. Our freeze-dried crickets, larvae, and insect medley offer a convenient place to start. Check your fish species' feeding requirements before choosing a product.

Jumping spiders and other invertebrates

Small, active prey is often the easiest choice. Our Jumping Spider Feeder Variety Kit provides several feeder options in one order, or shop appropriately sized crickets and mealworms.

Three quick rules

  1. Choose the correct size. When in doubt, start smaller.
  2. Offer variety. Rotating suitable feeders helps prevent an overly narrow diet.
  3. Support nutrition. Feed and hydrate live insects properly and use calcium or supplements when recommended for your animal.
