Feeding Crickets

[SierraandRhonda]

I was wondering what everyone feeds their crickets. I have heard that potato is a bad idea. I appreciate any input.

I just use potato's and never had a problem! Also greens! Good luck.

I use carrots, greens, potatos, yam...one or two at a time and just little bits but I also use a store bought gut load.

Sometimes I just throw in what I'm done eating. Maybe an apple core or bannana peel. Or greens since they come in such a large bunch that my beardie can't go through that much.

Thank you all for the reply!! I have added new stuff to my cricket holder!

And, said about the beardie not being able to eat the bunch-I am glad it is not just mine. I seem to throw a lot out. Not that veggies are expensive but in the winter here veggies go up in price... example- summer romaine lettuce is a dollar a bunch. Now that winter has it is three dollars a bunch...plus the stuff Sierra eats is seen as specialty veggies and most stores don't carry them here....enough to make you want to move!!

Again, thankx for all the imput

Rhonda, romaine lettuce is not that good of a food choice. It carry's no nutritional value. Here is a better list to pick from and good luck. http://www.beautifuldragons.503xtreme.com/Nutrition.html
