Essex Reptile Livefood - Large Locusts (22-35mm) sits in our reptiles & amphibians listings, where we rank by how buyers actually rate a product rather than by brand.

How it compares in Reptiles & Amphibians
Across the 50 rated reptiles & amphibians products we track, the typical score is 4.6 out of 5. This one sits at 4.7, which puts it in the upper quarter of the category rather than level with it. Where almost everything is rated well, the gap at the top is small in points and large in practice.
It carries 99 ratings against a category median of 605. That is a thin base by the standards of this category, so treat the score as provisional: a handful of extra reviews can still move it either way.
On price it sits in the lower third of a category running from £2.30 to £26.86, where the midpoint is about £8.99. Cheaper than most while rating at or above the category norm is the combination worth looking for, and it is the main argument for this one.
