It's kinda hard to tell. How big are the crix? If I were to guess I'd say a 1 inch silkie is equivalent to (4) 1/2" crix.

Since I don't deal much with crix I haven't had to buy any but I am getting an Emporer Scorpion soon, hopefully this weekend, and will see if I can weigh both out to get an idea of the quantity. My scales are only accurate to the gram though so whatever I come up with probably won't be very accurate.

Im not sure weighing them would accurately tell the equvilent anyway, as the crickets have alot of outter shell which is of no use to the beardie.. might give an idea though I guess if the scales were accurate enough.

Cheers>>
