My beardie just turned 5months and has now moved on to larger crickets which I just bought today....
NEVER AGAIN!!!...
At least until I can figure something else out....I will pay the extra to just get double the amount in small crickets.
How does anyone deal with the chirping of the crickets?!? I thought it was kind of soothing at first but they don't shut up, I can't be the only one who gets that?!?
Sorry Benjii!! We are going back to silkworms, reptiworms and smalll crickets. !
Are you in an area that allows dubia roaches? They are much easier to care for, are heartier, don't stink, and don't make noise while providing a self sustaining staple feeder source.
Bummer. The discoids are usually my second choice for people in Florida too. Another thing you may be able to try with the crickets is to cool them down (hard to do in Florida I'm sure). I found that they are quieter in my basement when the temps drop down. If you have a room/area that you can keep in the low to mid 60s it may quiet them down quite a bit.
