Depends what you're feeding them to, but probably not.
In addition, for moisture, I give my crickets carrots & nothing else - no water, no "cricket water bites", etc.
Makes them a lot less messy & cuts down on odor.
Cheers,
Max

I feed my crickets greens and oranges. Crickets are such butts. They get all the dust of them 5 minutes after you dust them. I love hissers, the dust will stay on them for a week.
