O...kay? Why is that funny? Us westerners only generally use one or two common species of cricket as feeders. The crickets you're talking about in china aren't the same kind at all.Raveness said:In China crickets can cost in the thousand range as pets.. They use them to fight in championships and mean a lot to them LOL...I wonder what they'd think of how we use crickets..
In Taiwan, it is an official contest hold by the county government, and has already been official for over 20 yrs. A good pair would cost a lot, maybe more than our cars, but the prize of the Championship is a car as well.Raveness said:In China crickets can cost in the thousand range as pets..

It would be very cool to have one, but it would probably be damn near impossible and incredibly expensive. The only way is if there's a captive breeding program going on (obviously not the London Zoo, since they wouldn't sell their animals).Scythemantis said:When I saw this thread I thought "people can keep wetas!?!?"
