How does the BIOTIC Cricket Feeder attach to a terrarium?

Four rear suction cups secure the feeder vertically to clean, smooth terrarium glass. Clean and dry both the glass and suction cups, press every cup firmly into place and test the attachment before use. Inspect the mount regularly and remove the feeder immediately if any cup is loose or damaged.

How does the BIOTIC Cricket Feeder keep crickets contained?

The enclosed body concentrates crickets behind dedicated feeding openings. Reptiles can see and capture insects through those openings, while the surrounding housing helps prevent crickets from jumping or crawling into substrate, plants and décor. For mealworms, compare the BIOTIC Mealworm Dish, whose retaining ring is designed around their different movement. Monitor feeding and remove uneaten insects in line with the animal's normal care routine.

Which reptiles can use the BIOTIC Cricket Feeder?

It is particularly suited to appropriately sized visual insect hunters that readily feed from an elevated point, including many chameleons, geckos and other climbing reptiles. Suitability still depends on species, body size, hunting behaviour, prey size and the animal's ability to reach the openings safely.

Can I dust crickets with supplements before using the BIOTIC Cricket Feeder?

Yes. Keeping dusted crickets inside the Exo Terra BIOTIC Cricket Feeder reduces their contact with substrate, plants and décor, so more vitamin and mineral powder stays on the insects until they are captured. Always supplement according to the reptile's species-specific nutritional requirements.

How do I refill and clean the BIOTIC Cricket Feeder?

The removable lower feeder of the Exo Terra BIOTIC Cricket Feeder supports controlled refilling and routine cleaning. Its smooth outer surface is designed for manual cleaning. Remove uneaten crickets after each feeding session, and inspect the four suction cups whenever you take the feeder down.

Where should I mount the BIOTIC Cricket Feeder?

Mount the Exo Terra BIOTIC Cricket Feeder vertically on clean, smooth terrarium glass, at a height that suits the species and where the reptile can reach the front openings safely. The tall 10 × 4 × 20.3 cm feeder creates an elevated feeding zone without using floor space, keeping live crickets visible and off the substrate.

Turn fast-moving crickets into a focused, visible feeding opportunity. The Exo Terra BIOTIC Cricket Feeder mounts vertically to clean terrarium glass with four suction cups, keeping live crickets off the substrate and within reach of arboreal visual hunters. Dedicated front openings let reptiles see, approach and capture prey while the enclosed body helps prevent crickets from roaming, hiding in décor or disturbing resting animals.

Containment also reduces contact with substrate and enclosure surfaces, helping preserve supplement coatings until feeding. The tall feeder creates a controlled elevated feeding zone without occupying floor space, while the smooth outer form supports straightforward routine cleaning. It is particularly suited to appropriately sized chameleons, geckos and other climbing insect hunters that feed visually. Suitability, mounting height, prey size and feeding quantity must always follow the individual species’ care requirements.

Biomorphic by Design

The BIOTIC Cricket Feeder interprets natural cell structures in a tall, architectural form designed for vertical placement. Irregular openings divide the front into balanced feeding zones, recalling wing venation without copying it literally. Rounded edges soften the tall enclosure, while the removable lower feeder and rear suction mounts remain visually integrated. The result turns controlled live feeding into a sculptural terrarium element that belongs unmistakably to the BIOTIC family.

Why do I need the Exo Terra BIOTIC Cricket Feeder?

The Exo Terra BIOTIC Cricket Feeder is a glass-mounted cricket feeder that helps contain live crickets at one visible, controlled feeding point. Dedicated openings allow insect-eating reptiles to see, approach and capture the crickets while reducing loose feeders roaming through the terrarium, hiding in the substrate or losing supplement coating. The removable feeder supports controlled refilling and routine cleaning.

Helps keep crickets contained

The Exo Terra BIOTIC Cricket Feeder keeps live crickets grouped at one predictable feeding point instead of roaming freely through the terrarium. Its escape-resistant design helps stop feeder insects from hiding in substrate or décor, while keeping them visible and accessible to reptiles. Containment also makes uneaten crickets easier to monitor and remove after feeding.

Helps retain supplements on crickets

The Exo Terra BIOTIC Cricket Feeder helps retain vitamin and mineral powder on dusted crickets by reducing contact with substrate, plants and décor. Keeping feeder insects contained means less coating is rubbed onto terrarium surfaces before capture, supporting cleaner feeding and more consistent supplement presentation. Always supplement according to the reptile’s species-specific nutritional requirements.

Provides visible, controlled feeding access

The Exo Terra BIOTIC Cricket Feeder uses dedicated openings so reptiles can approach and capture crickets while the insects remain concentrated at the feeding point. This creates visible, controlled access to live prey without releasing the full group into the enclosure, making cricket feeding easier to observe, manage and adapt to the animal’s needs.
