Feeding dead crickets to Beardie

[DBalbert]

I adopted a 2 year old beardie named Albert a few days ago. And i bought him about 30 crickets. Today i noticed half of them are dead. Is it safe for him to eat those? And if not how do i store/keep them alive longer. Thanks for your help in advance =)

Did you buy anything to gut load / feed your crickets? At Petsmart I buy those orange cube things and put enough of them in the Cricket Keeper to keep them alive. I buy 75 crickets at a time and only maybe 5 die.

I'm sure it isn't bad to feed the dead ones to your beardie, I just am paranoid and I don't. He only seems interested in ones that are moving anyway.

You need to feed the crickets, too. The nice thing about that though is you can just feed them the fruits and veggies beardies eat.
