So, what do you think about this IDea? Gut-loading crickets with Gold Fish Flakes. They eat them up quickly, faster then most veggies, its clean... etc...

Then, just dust the crickets before feeding and the meal is set.

Good idea?

I prefer the Tetra tropical fish flake food. It is much more nutritious than goldfish food. You'll also still need to give them some grains (oatmeal, wheatbran, etc.) to provide a more balanced meal. And veggies for moisture.
