Okay, so I picked up a male and two females at the Daytona show, and plan to breed them next season and want to make sure that I'm ready for their picky eating habits. I have plenty of mealworms and dubia roaches, but I've read that they sometimes won't eat them and that crickets were the way to go.
I used to keep crickets in big 55 gallon Rubbermaid tubs, but the smell and, more often than not, dying off made me get rid of them. So I pose these questions:
Who do you get your crickets from and what kind are they (banded, gryllis, acheta?)
How do you keep them alive?
When I kept them I'd feed fresh veggies every other day, water crystals daily and fresh dog food/chicken mash mix every day. But still I'd have hundreds die overnight from some shipments and others do just fine with only a few dying.
Basically... how do you deal with crickets??? Lol
