Northern Gecko Banded Crickets
Northern Gecko's banded crickets occupy a niche as a specialized live feeder, bred for size uniformity and high activity which improves feeding response and reduces waste relative to mixed-source live crickets. Their technical advantage is predictable sizing for stage-specific feeding (juveniles to adults), which can reduce overfeeding and improve conversion efficiency compared with larger live roaches or generic cricket mixes. For keepers focused on feeding precision and reduced replacement frequency, Northern Gecko provides a competitively priced live-cricket solution that complements powdered and roasted insect offerings.
