Zoo Med Can O' Adult Crickets Reptile Wet Food 1.2 oz

Premium Canned Adult Crickets for Reptiles, Fish, Birds, and Small Animals

Zoo Med's Can O' Adult Crickets deliver one of the most widely used feeder insects in a convenient, shelf-stable format that reptile keepers can rely on. Using the same retort-cooking process found across the Can O' line, each cricket is cooked directly inside the sealed can, locking in natural flavor and freshness while softening the exoskeleton for easier digestion.

Adult-sized crickets are a staple feeder for a broad range of insectivorous species. Each 1.2 oz can contains approximately 60 crickets, making it a practical, portion-ready option for daily feeding routines. No live cricket maintenance, no escapes, and no odor, just a ready-to-serve feeder that animals readily accept.

Suitable for most lizards, turtles, fish, birds, and small animals, Can O' Adult Crickets are a versatile addition to any reptile room or feeding station.

Why Reptile Owners Choose Can O' Adult Crickets

Crickets are one of the most universally accepted feeder insects across reptile, amphibian, bird, and small animal species. Can O' Adult Crickets make this staple feeder accessible without the challenges of keeping a live cricket colony. The retorting process preserves the natural scent and moisture that triggers feeding responses, making this a reliable option for routine feeding and for animals that may be reluctant to accept non-live feeders.

Quick Product Snapshot

Material and Design Breakdown

The retorting process is the defining feature of the Can O' line. By cooking the crickets inside a sealed can, Zoo Med eliminates the need for artificial preservatives while extending shelf life and maintaining the natural moisture and scent of the feeder. The result is a softened cricket that is gentler on digestive systems compared to dried alternatives, and more palatable to animals accustomed to live prey. The sealed can format also eliminates the mess and odor associated with live cricket storage.

Setup and Compatibility Guidance

Can O' Adult Crickets are suited for most lizards, turtles, fish, birds, and small animals that accept crickets as part of their diet. Serve directly from the can using feeding tongs or a dish. Refrigerate any unused portion after opening and use within a few days. Remove uneaten food from the habitat promptly to maintain a clean environment. The adult size is appropriate for most medium to large insectivorous species and juveniles of larger species.
