Desert locusts (Schistocerca gregaria) have gone from being a well-kept secret to a popular staple food insect in recent years. In their characteristics, they are similar to the well-known Egyptian locusts, but are somewhat larger and significantly more colorful.

Thanks to their considerable size, even large pets can easily be fed. Their lively movement – ​​jumping and fluttering – awakens a strong hunting instinct in many lizards, frogs, birds, and small mammals. But smaller pets also benefit: the young desert locusts are equally suitable and very popular as prey for many species.

A versatile and attractive feeder animal that offers both variety and enrichment – ​​perfect for providing your animals with a species-appropriate diet!
