Hi there!
I've been getting fed up with my feeders recently (no pun intended). I'm not sure if it's the supplier or just how I'm looking after them but a ridiculous number of my crickets are dying! I got two boxes which were supposedly 40-60 crickets each, I guess I got about twenty out of each. To add to that they eat each other despite the food which I give them daily!
I was planning on breeding them but I was wondering if it might me more cost effective to try something else namely grasshoppers. Roaches are probably a no-no it's summer here, if any escaped into my house it would be both a nightmare and an infestation.
Any suggestions? Can grasshoppers be used as a staple for a 3 month old beardie?
