Crix

[Puppet Master]

Can pinheads and adult crix be kept in the same container. or will the adults eat the pinheads. Also I found a small furry caterpiller in my thing of crix it is only about 1.5cm and is black with little red/orange specks. I am not going to feed it to my T but I just want to know if it is poisonus to my crix.

I've heard the adults eat pinheads and I have found the same caterpillers in my crickets before and was told that was common and they are fine.

The fuzzy caterpillar looking thing is most likely a carpet beetle larvae. You don't want them in your house as they are house infesting and can cause damage...

I am also moving this thread to the insects and other invertabrates forum.

Yes. You can keep them together (I'm using this method). You can decrease cannibalism by giving them more proteins to their food.
