Black crickets?

[Caitlinp99]

Hi everyone. I usually get brown crickets for my beardie but I had to get black ones as we've had snow and the store didn't get their delivery. Will these be okay for her since they're the right size? I've read that they're not too different from the brown ones but others have said they're not good?
Thanks.

I'd be careful with them, and only hand feed them most likely. From what i've read they are quite aggressive and will attack your lizard if given the chance.

I always hand feed her anyway and they rarely escape, I'll make sure that if any do escape that I'll get them out. They definitely smell a lot worse than the brown crickets!
