Got an Idea, need opinions please!

Ok so I had this idea.
Right now , Kiku is eating PWs twice a day , all she wants, and lots of veggies , she loves her salads!
Thing is, I find myself buying TONS of PWs! It can get expensive!
To cut down on the expense, I was thinking about using this feeding ritual:
* PWs in the morning
* Her veggies are in her viv all day .In fact , I usually have to refill the bowl halfway through the day, cause she eats them all!
* Then at her evening feeding, give her crickets.

I would love to try this, as it would cut down on the expense. Question is, Would I have to dust the crickets even with the phoenix worms being HIGH in calcium? She is 3 months old BTW. Growing fast too !

So what do you think??

When Nero was little I fed phoenix worms in the morning and crickets at night, plus salad provided in the viv. I never dusted the crix with calcium during those days, but I did dust them with multivitamin, two days a week.

To even cut costs a little more, breed your own roaches!

LOL , Thanks CLEAR, but I dont do roaches...of ANY kind! EWWWWWW. NO WAY. :shock:

Your warm up to them, they are not as bad as you think they are. Nothing like the common roach.

after keeping crickets for a few months, I'd like to convince my girlfriend of this, but I've received a VERY firm no on the subject lol. Oh well. Stinky, dead, nippy, jumping, loud, crickets it is I guess.

UMM ...negative ghostrider!!! I dont see myself "warming up" to ...ROACHES. :shock: Gives me the heebi geebies just thinking about it. LOL!

jargonchipmunk..I have to completely agree with your girlfriend on this one. I wont budge either.LOL.

Just dont call them roaches, its the word roaches that gives people the "shivers" call them exotic beetles or even just by the name dubia. If you can handle crickets then there is no reason you cant handle dubia

LOL . now where s your gf to back me up ? too funny. I just dont think I can do it. I rather get crickets.
