Bulk Whole Dried Crickets Supplier for B2B Orders
As a trusted bulk supplier of whole dried crickets, we serve a rapidly expanding global market that spans reptile nutrition, aquaculture feed, wild bird supplements, exotic pet retail, and human-grade edible insect products. Whole dried crickets — primarily sourced from Acheta domesticus (the house cricket) and Gryllus bimaculatus (the two-spotted cricket) — have become one of the most commercially significant insect commodities worldwide. Their exceptional protein density, shelf stability, and broad palatability make them the go-to ingredient for pet food formulators, zoo procurement officers, and health food manufacturers alike. With demand for sustainable protein sources accelerating across North America, Europe, and Southeast Asia, B2B buyers are increasingly seeking reliable, high-volume dried cricket suppliers who can deliver consistent quality, traceable sourcing, and competitive pricing at scale. Our facility is built precisely to meet those requirements.
What are Whole Dried Crickets?
Whole dried crickets are fully intact specimens of the order Orthoptera — most commonly Acheta domesticus — that have been thermally processed and dehydrated to a moisture content of 8% or below. Unlike milled cricket powder, whole-form product retains the complete exoskeleton, legs, and body structure, making it ideal for reptile feeders, bird treats, and visible-ingredient pet food applications where product integrity is a key purchasing criterion.
Whole Dried Crickets Breeding and Rearing Process
Our crickets are raised in climate-controlled indoor facilities maintained at 28–32°C with relative humidity between 60–70%, replicating optimal tropical rearing conditions. Colonies are fed a certified grain-based diet free from antibiotics, growth hormones, and animal by-products. Each batch undergoes a pre-harvest gut-loading phase of 48 hours to maximize nutrient density. Post-harvest, specimens are blanched, freeze-dried or oven-dried at 80°C, and screened through 6 mm and 10 mm mesh to ensure uniform sizing before packaging.
Whole Dried Crickets Biological Specifications
Adult whole dried Acheta domesticus measure 18–22 mm in body length with a dressed weight of approximately 0.45–0.55 g per unit. On a dry matter basis, crude protein content exceeds 62%, crude fat is 18–22%, and ash content is 4–6%. Chitin content averages 5–8%, contributing beneficial dietary fiber. Moisture is controlled to ≤8% for a minimum shelf life of 18 months when stored at 15–20°C in sealed, oxygen-barrier packaging. All batches are tested for Salmonella, E. coli, and heavy metals prior to release.
