Feeding crickets a mix of fruits and veggies?

[Shadey]

I have been only feeding in my crickets carrots for now as I have just gotten my first T. Just wanted to know if only carrots were fine

Someone posted a guide to spoiling crickets rotten in the last week or so, try searching for something like "crickets carrots" so you don't have to weed through too many posts. If I find it I'll post a link...

I was feeding organic carrots and spring water and after reading it, felt like I could step up my spoiling game. They get such a short straw in life, I like to treat them well. Based on that post...carrots are not enough.

Any tips for keeping feeder crickets?

I need to buy more feeder crickets at the moment, but I know to keep them in a well-ventilated container, make sure they aren't too humid, and get them slightly smaller than you'd like them to be. Of course, I also know to supervise my spider while a cricket is in the enclosure.

I feed mine grains that are meant for gutloading for reptiles

I really need to get back into the habit of gut loading my crix before tossing them to their destiny. A good 24h for sure. Hopefully, I get lucky and get little to no males that chirp incessantly throughout the night

I do a grain base as well, with a water source. Fresh veg/fruit I always provide. And once eaten, skip a day before adding more just to let things solidify...digestively speaking...

I've used fish/dog etc food in a pinch as well when out of fresher things.
