>>Hey if you could tell me more about the cricket free diet i'd be all ears, i hate those smelly things. and TY



The info below is taken directly from my site... hope it helps with the crix free questions.....



CRICKET FREE FEEDING



Hatchlings >>>> 4 months



Salad mix consisting of Endive, Escarole, Mustard greens and squash lightly dusted daily with calcium with D3. Moistened Rep cal pellets are dropped on top of the salad. We offer this dish of food twice daily…. 1 hour after the lights come on in the morning and again at around 2 pm. Dishes are removed 1 hour before lights are turned off for the night. For added protein we offer very small freshly shed super worms or silk worms every 3 – 4 days. We also dust the salad once a week with a vitamin supplement...UPDATE: We now use the T Rex super foods supplements daily instead of separate calcium and vitamins.



4 months >>>> Adult



We offer the same salad as above with moistened Rep cal pellets on top. We also provide a dish of dry pellets in the cage at all times. For added protein we offer 4 super worms or silk worms every 3 - 4 days, we always dust the super worms with calcium with D3 before feeding. We also use a vitamin supplement once weekly on top of their salad greens. UPDATE: We now use the T Rex super foods supplements daily instead of separate calcium and vitamins.



Try mixing things up a little and add other various vegetables to your salad mix. The foods listed above are our basic salad mix, we always offer something “extra” in the daily salads.
