Locusts are popular food for all sizes of lizards.
Slightly slower moving than Crickets, they are easier for lizards to catch and eat. If a lizard keeper should over-feed there is no danger of Locusts biting the lizards back.
Locusts are particularly good for feeding indoors as any escapees will find it impossible to survive for long
Locusts provide more nutrition than other live food insects can, they are nurtured on a very high fibre diet consisting of bran and cabbage.
Adult Locusts are probably the largest live food insect source that are farmed, or bred for the livefood industry. Locusts have an amazing growth rate, from hatching out of its egg pod to being able to reproduce itself the locust will take 42 days.
