Cricket Species

[Baby]

Roar, I'm pouting/ (getting mad)
cos I've called every pet place I can think of to ask what 'cricket species' they sell.
and everyone tells me, they dont know!

How can they NOT know?!

*forhead smack*

can anyone tell me if the "A.Domesticus" Cricket is still around? (did it ever make a come back?)

one women told us she didnt know the species but they are the "Little black ones." ( I assume this is the Jamaican Feild Cricket(s) that bit my Baby.) Since I have Little guy now. (tiny thing) I dunno if I should feed him these mean ones.

Actually, all crickets bit unfortunately.

Thats true, they all bite. Thats why its so easy for me to crush their back legs. A little revenge goes a long way.

:lol: I actually have to remove the back legs to slow them down for the adults. :roll:

Well I just bought 20 (but I'm pretty sure there was more.)
Baby ate them all except 7 (because Little Guy ate 7 the other day, so I had to stop him!) x.x

Put Little Guy in and he ate the rest.

Although I understand they can all bite.
The black ones WENT after my lizard, where the brown ones (with the exception of one.) will walk on him and not bite.

The black ones actually chased your beardie?

Yes, a week or two ago, the black ones ran right up to Baby and bit him!
I threw them all out~!

someone linked to this in another post http://www.geckotime.com/jamaican-field-cricket-gryllus-assimili/

I had read this before I fed him black ones, but I didnt remember exactly what it said, and I just re found it last night.
So now I was calling the stores to ask about the Species but everyone said they didnt know. =.=;;

I Know I read that to that's crazy lady's he ok lost half it's tail in Canada we have no Jamaican crickets only regular an they order them from california I think try ordering

I'm sure their are a couple places that still sell these domestic house crickets. Petco and Petsmart still, as well as a couple pet stores around here, sell them.

I used to pinch off the back legs of the house crickets for my blue tongue skinks. He was too lazy! That's why he loved mouse fuzzies. I shouldn't have traded him for a baby bearded dragon.

All the pet stores around here only carry the Jamaicans.

I can't find the the A.Domesticus anymore.

Not that I'm really looking. Dubia all the way! :mrgreen:
