Woodies are very clean insects and are not known to carry disease. Woodies live naturally in dry conditions under dead tree limbs and grow to approximately the same size as a large cricket.

For easier handling, place your woodies in the top of your refrigerator for five minutes to slow them down. Feed only enough woodies that will be eaten immediately.

Keeping them well-nourished with  reptile supplements will ensure you give them the best possible lifespan. Store in a warm, dry place ideally away from light to reduce stress.
