is the standard fluckers kricket quencher have much of a "gutloading" factor, or should i buy the calcuim enhanced version?
people always say to gutload the crickets, and i was wondering if i should be adding soemthing to the standard kricket quencher, or if that was suffecient? advice?
Okay, if I am reading your post correctly you say that you are only gutloading your crix with the Flukers Quenchers? If so, your crix are missing a lot of other nutrients. If you want to stick with flukers, they also provide a gutload that is a mixture of I believe protien, grains, and pollen.
Personally I use http://cricketfood.com I have noticed while using this gutload that I have a significant drop in the die off rate of my crickets. Which really helps considering all the mouths I have to feed. My typical order of crix is about 1k every 2-3 weeks. Before I started using cricketfood.com I had to order 2k every week and a half.
In addition to using the cricketfood.com gut load I also provide my crix with fresh fruits and veggies, along with hard boiled egg for extra protien, and instead of using the quenchers I use orange slices. I will occassionally use quenchers, but thats usually only if I haven't had a chance to get to the store to pick up some more oranges.
Hope this helps.
