🦗 Locust Size 1 – Small (10–12mm)

Small Schistocerca gregaria locusts are an excellent live food choice for hatchling and juvenile reptiles and amphibians. Measuring approximately 10–12mm, they are an ideal prey size for smaller animals while their active movement encourages natural hunting and foraging behaviours.
