Canned feeder insects Exo Terra — Grasshoppers (34 g) for reptiles and amphibians

Exo Terra canned feeder insects — Grasshoppers (34 g) are preserved whole grasshoppers formulated as complementary food for insectivorous reptiles and amphibians. Each 34 g can contains ready-to-serve insects that provide animal protein and are intended for occasional feeding or when live feeders are unavailable. The product is presented by Exo Terra and designed for ease of use in captive feeding routines.

Advantages

The canned grasshoppers offer a convenient, shelf-stable alternative to live feeders, eliminating the need for housing, gut-loading or handling live insects. Being preserved and ready to serve, they reduce preparation time and simplify feeding schedules. The consistent size and composition make portioning straightforward and help maintain predictable nutrient intake when used as a supplement to varied diets.

Suitable for

• Small insectivorous lizards such as geckos and anoles
• Frogs and toads that accept preserved prey
• Juvenile or adult reptiles requiring supplemental protein
• Situations when live feeders are unavailable or impractical

Key specifications

• Product form: preserved whole grasshoppers in a 34 g can
• Intended use: complementary feed for insectivorous reptiles and amphibians
• Serving state: ready to serve, no rehydration required
• Storage: shelf-stable until opened; refrigerate after opening (follow label guidance)

How to use

Open the can and offer appropriate portions directly to the animal or place the insects in a shallow feeding dish. Monitor acceptance and remove any uneaten portions after a short period to avoid spoilage. Use the product as a complementary component of a balanced feeding program, alternating with live feeders and supplemented gut-loaded insects or formulated diets as needed. Follow any handling and storage instructions printed on the product label.

Usage recommendations

Introduce canned grasshoppers gradually, especially for animals accustomed to live prey, and observe feeding response. Use as an occasional supplement rather than the sole diet to ensure nutritional balance; calcium and vitamin supplementation may be necessary depending on species and life stage. Store unopened cans in a cool, dry place and refrigerate any remaining product after opening according to the label.
