thank-you everyone for your input! I beleive that only tent caterpillars on cherry trees are toxic, but that's the only kind of tree I've seen them on anyway. But, the fuzz on the caterpillars might irritate their mouths. I'm not going to use them, its not worth the risk. It's a huge comfort that they may only eat 20 crix a day! I've found that LLLreptile is the cheapest. its about $25 for 200 crix, anysize, including shipping! They're where I get most my reptile supplies from, they tend to always have the lowest prices. Thanks again, one more week til the hatch day!
