What are Fluker’s Freeze Dried Crickets?
These are high-quality crickets that have been freeze dried to lock in flavor and nutritional value—giving your pets a tasty, protein-packed meal without the hassle of live feeding.
Why freeze dried crickets?
Freeze dried crickets are mess-free, easy to store, and require no care. They’re perfect for pet owners who want a convenient, shelf-stable alternative that’s still packed with nutrition.
Are freeze dried crickets nutritious?
Yes—freeze drying helps retain protein, fat, and essential nutrients. However, we still recommend dusting with calcium or multivitamin powder to meet your pet's specific dietary needs, just as you would with live feeders.
Which pets can eat freeze dried crickets?
They’re great for insectivores like reptiles such as leopard geckos, anoles, bearded dragons, amphibians, aquarium fish, exotic birds, and small animals like hedgehogs and sugar gliders.
Do I need to rehydrate the crickets before feeding?
Nope—they're ready to serve straight from the container. However, for pets that prefer softer textures or need extra hydration, you can soak them briefly in warm water. Or check out our moist canned insect options!
Should I refrigerate them after opening?
Not necessary. Just store them in a cool, dry place with the container tightly sealed to keep them fresh.
How long do they last?
When stored properly, freeze dried crickets have a long shelf life, often up to 1–2 years. Always check the expiration date on the packaging.
Do freeze dried crickets have any added preservatives?
No artificial preservatives or additives are added. Just 100% natural crickets, freeze dried at peak freshness.
What other freeze dried insect options does Fluker’s offer?
Fluker’s full line includes superworms, mealworms, and river shrimp, dubia roaches, and soldier worms, giving you plenty of options to diversify your pet’s diet.
