What do you gutload your crickets on?
are cricket totals bites and the flukers cricket gutload good for gutloading?
Does anyone here feed killed (frozen/thawed or the can o crickets) crickets to their herps?
If so how long do you gutload the FT crickets for?
Also how long do you freeze for?

I gutload my bugs (crix, lobster and hissing roaches and mealies)on breakfast cereals, baby cereal, Ca powder, fish food flakes, greens, dog kibble.
Wouldn't freezing crix kinda turn them to mush? Canned ones are freeze dried....different than just in the freezer. I have backed crix to put them in cookies. The kids claimed they were really pretty good and kept swiping them. I don't have anything that would eat them if they weren't moving. That is why some genius devised a vibrating dish....to move the dead bugs. Yummy

Don't know about the bites and gutload as I don't use them. And yes, the dish is real. Saw one at a show last year. Online somewhere probably has one. Sorry I can't help more.

found the vibrating food dish. It looks pretty cool. i am going to need to do a science experiment with it, to figure out if it works better or worse.

Hi! Those products are probably as good as anything else to gut load your crix on, but they are WAAAAY expensive and unnecessary. I usually throw in the left over greens from my Beardies cage, and occasionally some carrot peels. I did find these water pillow thingies that are awesome for moisture! Little blue packets with a white mesh over them that you soak until they swell up. The crix love 'em. Other than that, stale cereal and table left overs are what mine get. Mind you, I don't breed them, just buy in bulk and feed them off.
