There is nothing wrong with crickets, the problem is that you left a food item in there. Just as well could have been anything else.

I am glad your T. is ok though.

I have never had a problem with crickets personally.

Not that I would not mind starting my own roach colony mind you. It was hard enough getting my wife to accept my ever growing T. collection. I have mentioned roaches a few times and she is just too grossed out at the idea. So I count my blessings and let sleeping dogs lie as they say!

OMG, are you and Charlotte both okay, Pat? I'm so sorry!! Don't worry, I'm sure you caught it in time.
Just remember, an adult female Charlotte's size isn't always going to eat a lot. Only offer one food item at a time and make sure you see her eat before offering more.

IrishKnight,

Who is Alex? He sounds like someone I should know to call on, in case of T emergencies.

Glad your female is okay and was rescued from the ants in time. Wish my pulchras were of a decent size. Someday.
