freeze dried crickets?

[VeggieLoven]

so im not sure if other places are having this problem but my petco is on a live cricket shortage. my beardy is now having to go a couple of days without protien so i was wondering are freeze dried crickets okay to feed regularly? or if anyone can think of another feeder that would be great. i already give him phoniex worms but it takes like a week for them to get to me and i cant afford them right now also i refuse to feed mealies because of the low nutrition.

What size is your beardie? If he is 16" or longer you can do supers. They are a common staple for beardies of that size. If not then freeze dried crickets are an okay last resort.

Hello Freeze dried crickets are missing a lot of the nutrients that live ones have. I wouldnt feed them. You can get cheaper crickets online. If you go to the for sale section on here you can find good deals.
