Is there anything wrong in this to feed crickets?

[hikki]

Wheat flour, cane sugar, non-hydrogenated palm oil, rapeseed oil, poppy seed (5%), wheat germ (5%), glucose syrup plant, billets cereals (rice flour , oats, wheat, rye, corn meal, whey syrup, barley malt, sea salt), Fructose, lemon flakes (1.5% equivalent 8% lemon) (lemon 0.9 % corn starch, sucrose), Magnesium, baking powders (sodium hydrogen carbonate, disodium diphosphate, ammonium hydrogen carbonate), emulsifier: rapeseed lecithin, natural lemon flavor, Calcium, sea salt, acidifier: acid malic, milk Protein, wheat Starch, Vitamins D, B6, B9 and E (lactose).

This is google translation but it should be understandable. That's some cakes, i turned them into kind of powder and gave it to crickets, as i was tired of seeing them eating only carots and this is full of vitamins. About 6 died since yesterday (but only young one) so i'm wondering if it's related to that or not. Let me know, thanks!

Doesn't seem like a problem to me, though I had mealworms die from a gutload I made myself because I think it had too many fatty products in it and their mouths/noses (whatever mealworms have) got stuffed up.

Not the best thing to feed crickets. It is cake? Not even good for humans! Feed your crickets vegetables, fruits, seeds and ground up nuts. Stay away from processed junk. Do you see how many chemicals are listed in those ingredients? Crickets are not made to ingest those things (and technically, neither are people). However, insects have a nervous system that reacts worse to some of those chemicals. 6 already died, which should tell you something. Find out what crickets eat in their natural habitats (vegetables, fruits,seeds,leaves, nuts)...and feed the crickets those things which they are designed for! :main_thumbsup:

I tried in the past giving them leaves and fruits : never ate it. I didn't know for nuts, I'll try, but it's just FAT... Sure I know our processed food contains chemical still I wanted to try.. Only few young died while all ate it. That's why I was doubting.

Try ground up dry cat food the high end kind we use it as part of our mealworm bedding
