Your LP and I are very much alike, except that in my case it's Snickers bars, not crickets ... (that being the case, I think you're safe - just don't ever let him get a taste of human flesh - he'll just want more ...)He is ravenous, and will easily eat 5 crickets a day. If I dont put any in, he starts tearing up his cage, climbing the walls, and looking for a way out.
