lol..sharks eating seals..thats great, I have seen that on tv and thats some hardcore stuff. Anyway, how in the world did you spend 15 bucks on crickets? All they need is a rubbermaid container with a few small holes poked in the lid, then a moist papertowel and some veggies like carrots and lettuce. Potatoes will work but its not very nutritional. You are what you eat comes into play here. If you feed your cricket crap, your turtle is eating crap. So feed them good stuff like veggies. My turtles would eat crickets but they certainly wouldnt turn into a great white shark and come barreling out of the water for them. I would suggest sticking to feeder fish.
