Locust

Appleton Exotics strive to offer you a wide variety of the best food options for your beloved reptile or amphibian. Our range of Locust offer a plethora of nutritional benefits, making them a brilliant choice. These lively insects are rich in protein, making them an excellent source of energy for your scaly companions. Protein is essential for reptiles as it helps support and maintain their growth, repair tissues, and strong immune system.

Nutritional benefits

Not only are locusts packed with protein, but they also provide a variety of other essential nutrients. They contain valuable vitamins, such as vitamins A, B complex, and D. All of which are crucial for maintaining healthy skin, bones, and overall vitality in reptiles.

One of the key advantages of using locusts as a live food source is their low fat content. Reptiles, like any other animal, need a balanced diet, and excessive fat intake can lead to obesity and health issues. Locusts offer a lean and nutritious option, helping your reptiles maintain a healthy weight and overall fitness.

Another remarkable benefit of including locusts into your reptile’s diet is the high fiber content they provide. Fiber plays a vital role in maintaining a healthy digestive system and preventing constipation, which can be a common issue for reptiles. Including locusts in their meals can help promote proper digestion and ensure their gastrointestinal tract functions optimally.

All your Locust needs in one place

At Appleton Exotics, we take pride in offering the highest quality live locusts for your reptiles. Our locusts are sourced from reputable suppliers and are gut-loaded with nutritious foods before dispatch.

When it comes to feeding your reptiles, variety is key. By introducing locusts as part of their diet, you can offer a diverse range of nutrients that will support their overall health and vitality. Remember to consult with our knowledgeable staff to determine the appropriate feeding schedule and portion sizes based on your reptile’s species, age, and size.

So, whether you have a bearded dragon, a leopard gecko, or any other reptile companion, consider adding locusts as a live food source.
