Soo... someone at work overheard me and a friend talking about my leopard gecko. He mentioned he used to have a crested gecko and had some cricket food left over. He gave it to me, and I took it graciously. When I got home, I noticed it's quite a bit out of date, but I would hate for such a kind gesture to go to waste. Would using this old food on my feeders cause any harm to my reptiles that eat them?

What is in the cricket food? It might be OK but there is also a (probably low) risk of transferring parasites via the food. Generally I prefer to offer feeder bugs fresh food and veges for hydration and gutloading vs commercial diets but a combination of commercial and fresh food might be fine.

Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.
