Make damn sure you have a variety. Also, if you're using crickets, be sure to look into "gut loading" and the little powder stuff that you cover them in too. As for keeping them in your house, -bad- idea. They -will- get out. No matter what you do. Guarenteed. And they'll breed, in your house. And then you'll have chirping crickets forever. You can never get rid of them all. And no, the chirping is -not- pleasant. It's annoying as hell. And it's pretty disgusting knowing that there's crickets infesting your house too. Aw **** man, now my GF's gonna read this and ride my ass about it. LOOK WHAT YOU ****IN GONE DONE DID! I don't have much choice but to keep the crickets in my apt. If they get out, I'll just breed 200 mantids and let them loose. If that becomes a problem, I'll borrow a cat from one of the many spinsters in the building. Don't worry, the only time I lost crickets was the first time I bought a 1000. Was inexperienced, but that didn't matter because my cat loves crickets and has become an expert cricket hunter :-). Now they package them in smaller boxes which you could fit into a small aquarium, so I place the entire box, opened, into this aquarium, or shake the entire contents into the aquarium (once I learnt how to handle the suckers)....didn't loose one after that. Now I actually have to fish out a couple to give my cat, for him it's like catnip. Oh, the vitamin power is very good for the reptiles, but the same could be achived with what you feed the crickets themselves, plenty of good sites out there explaining a good cricket diet. Stay away from the water gel, it'll save a few crickets, but not enough to justify the cost. I love the sounds of crickets churping. Although not in the bedroom but I could still faintly hear them, which is soothing especially in the winter. I could close my eyes and pretend its summer with the windows open listening to the suckers. Basilic -- .................................................. ........................... ..

So let me get this straight. You buy expensive packaged foods to feed the critters that you feed to the critters that you are keeping for no other purpose than to have others gawk at? I mean what would you do if that tarantula got out and you couldn't find it? Remember "Goldfinger"? Hee-hee! Man! And people tell me I'm weird for feeding a little flake food to the goldfish for my Lionfish... __________________________________________________ _____________________________ Posted Via Uncensored-News.Com - Accounts Starting At $6.95 - http://www.uncensored-news.com The Worlds Uncensored News Source |

It's cheaper that the other standard ways to fortify your crickets before feeding them to your Lizard/Mantis/Children. But yes, fundementally, you do have is straight.
