Can I feed this to the crickets I feed to the Ts & scorps? Pros & cons, please. Kim
Gut-loading has been debated (sometimes hotly!) on this and many other forums for years. Do a search (look for the link on the gray banner across the top of the page) for gut loading. Also try various misspellings.Can I feed this to the crickets I feed to the Ts & scorps? Pros & cons, please. Kim
Eh..... It's another one of those "Snake Oil"-type products. That crap smelled worse than the crickets did!!!!! Just opening the little sample-thing I got wrenched my stomach. The crix ate it only after a couple of days of starving, and who could blame them??? Just toss it out the window, do the homemade food thing, and you'll be better off.Can I feed this to the crickets I feed to the Ts & scorps? Pros & cons, please. Kim

Never mind, I was thinking of those green "Cricket Bites." (oops :8o sorry!!!)How did the smell get you? It's a dry, mainly grain product, powder. Even if I accidently inhale the stuff I don't smell a thing with it?! Me thinks you got a bad/old sample pack?

Yes, you can feed cat food to your feeders. The grain-loaded cheap crap works well!! Though it does contain gluten, which may or may not be a good thing for inverts. I know it's bad for my cats, LOL.can you give crickets any kind of cat food? I've been using mostly romaine lettuce for mine, but its suppose to be for our turtle, who's a pig. So id I could also offer them cat food that would be great, but we feed out cats a perscription diet, science diet venison and green peas (or potatos) or something like that. (one of our cats is allergic to all poultry.)
I know a few medical assistants who also think the latest medications are the best thing too!!!! Too bad half of them cause IBS, frequent urination, heart palpatations, liver failure, nervous ticks, sexual dysfunction, and prostate problems for men in their 30's. And you have to talk to a doctor to see if that may be right for YOU!!!!Thanks, I might have to try that.
and weird, my mom is a vet tech and she seems to think its the best thing for our cats. And the reason we don't buy that other stuff is because almost all of them contain poultry and like I said, one of our cats is really allergic and gets really sick. (on top of the fact that he has IBS). We've found a food thats not making him throw up anymore, so I'm sure my mom would be a little more than hesitant to try something we don't know how he'll react to.
When I buy crix, I place them in a keeper with water crystals and either carrots or grapes.after 15 or so years of buyin crix,i decided to try this stuff out,and the crickets i get at the LPS dont seem to care for it all that much,if at all....wouldnt buy it again....i`ll stick to fruits&veggies
