Hi there, this is a very interesting topic, and to add a little diversity to it how about the nutritional value and chitinous waste of locusts. These are often fed to reptiles including bearded dragons, and the size of the prey is often much larger than that of the equivelent crickect fed to a particular animal. Obviously the ratio of chitin to soft tissue is much less in locusts but you have to wonder, what are the risk of what is there, causeing impaction?
All the best,
Lee.
