I don't think she is; if I remember right she said some of the geckos stopped eating after being bitten by the crickets at an earlier time.

OH thanks for clearing that up!

I only used them once, the first and only time I ever got them instead of my usual crickets. The problem has been that these aggressive feeders traumatized some of my Aussies who even get freaked out by generic crickets, much less ones that bite them. This makes a total of 5 knobtails dead because they never ate again after that.
