About crickets and things.

On the crickets, I've read/been told they can carry pin worms? Is this true?

Is there anything mealworms are known to carry?

I couldn't find anything conclusive so I figured I'd ask directly.

Its always best to buy from a supplier than a store. But with one gecko it seems pointless.
I have heard they carry pinworms but 2-3 a year I get fecal floats done.

How's your gecko doing?
Feeders to look into are silkworms and roaches. They drive my geckos crazy when hungry.
Check out my thread for sites where to order.

He's.... Well I don't know. I have to get a new fecal sample to the vet to get shipped off to a fancy lab before I'll really know anything.

I was just asking as I've not seen anything about meal worms carrying much of anything but the crickets have a bit of a reputation for pin worms so I figured I'd ask.
