Pisces crickets are lively food that will bring out the hunting instincts of captive animals whilst providing essential protein and roughage. All Pisces insects are free of animal hormones and organophosphates. The scientific name for these crickets is Acheta domesticus.
Free Pisces Gutload Included - The "Original & Genuine" Gutload.
Australia's most popular Live food - Pisces Live Food Crickets.
Storage: To ensure your crickets have a constant source of moisture and nutrients, replace the carrot with a fresh piece as needed.
The optimal storage temperature for the insects is between 18 °C and 25 °C.
Avoid exposure to poisonous fumes and cleaning supplies.
How to feed: Feed only enough that can be eaten immediately. Your free gutload should be fed to the insects before feeding it to your pets.
Note: The number of crickets per packet may vary significantly from the stated pack quantities. The stated pack quantities are just estimates.
Disclaimer: We take all possible measures to deliver crickets to our customers as soon as possible and in good condition; however, we accept no responsibility for insects that die during shipping. Please consider that the risk increases significantly for interstate or rural deliveries and during colder months, when crickets will be in transit without heating. Crickets usually require heating during colder months. Extreme hot weather also increases the risk. Strictly no refunds for insects that arrive dead.
Interstate Orders / Rural Orders - For all orders outside of NSW (except Melbourne) or rural areas, we recommend selecting the Australia Post Express freight option when available, especially during extreme weather conditions, as the risk of damage increases significantly during these times, and prompt delivery is essential.
ORDERS WILL NOT BE SENT CLOSE TO WEEKENDS: Orders placed towards the end of the week may not be sent until the following week to avoid worms being stuck at a courier depot.
Baby Cricket Availability - Due to their delicate nature (especially in cold weather), we typically keep only a small quantity of baby crickets in stock and often sell out. Therefore, it's possible and likely that your baby crickets will need to be special-ordered after your order is placed. This happens every Monday morning, so please have your order in by Saturday for delivery the following week. We also order mid-week sometimes, but it's best not to depend on this. Please let us know in the comments section (when ordering) if your request is urgent, and we'll try to expedite the process if possible.
More information from the Manufacturer:
As the country’s first and largest wholesale producer of live crickets to the pet trade, Pisces Enterprises continues to pioneer industry techniques and practices required to grow at scale in Australian conditions.
By purchasing Pisces’ live crickets, we guarantee that you are purchasing the highest possible quality on the market, relied upon by pet stores, zoos and wildlife carers across the country.
Pisces Enterprises’ patented live food containers feature air vents on all sides, allowing for superior ventilation, as well as an easy-open lid for convenient dispensing. Inside the container, the 100% recycled, food-grade insect hide sits atop a patented, sterile, absorbent wood pulp pad. This pad prevents the use of messy, dusty vermiculite granules, which can have a detrimental effect on the health of live insects.
Keeping them well-nourished with Pisces Aquaload and reptile supplements will ensure you give them the best possible lifespan. Store in a warm, dry place, ideally away from light, to reduce stress.
