About Can O Crickets?

mx6188 May 22, 2003 01:30 PM

Does anyone know anything about Zoo Meds Can O Crickets and Can O Worms products?I do not want to use them as a staple diet,but I think it would be good to give my leo some along with his live mealworms.Any input would be greatly appriciated.

Thanks

My geckos would'nt eat them and if the tried they would spit them out. Worth a try.

I tried them with all my geckos when they first came out out of curiosity, which seems like a few years ago maybe. They may have added some flavoring agents since then, but only one of my geckos (a fattail) would touch the stuf.

So I wouldn't count on your geckos eating them, but it never hurts to try.

I bought a can, and when I opened it up, I almost ralphed all over the place.

Pee-Yew. It was barf-making!!!

The leos didn't like it either. But I suppose it works or they wouldn't sell it.

Mealworms . . . .you can't eat just one

Yeah, they do smell to high heaven, but all my leos love em. They eat gutloaded mealies as a staple but i gave them some can-o-crickets and they just loved them. They reek, but my geckos loved the smell. i just put the crickets in front of em and they smelled em, and licked em a few times, and then ate em right up. so i guess it all depends on the leo =)
