Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Well I got my boss to order me 1000 small crickets from LLL Reptile. Thanks for the recommendations you guys! I realize I wasnt being the most responsible owner not planning ahead but you guys have helped tremendously. Thank you again.

Now I have a problem until they actually get here. Which i'm guessing will be about tuesday since I ordered them Friday at about 5pm. I just spent my last $10 on 150 crickets from the store and thats all I have. I went and got Turnip greens and Veal baby food but they havent touched it. I even added some colorful pellets to maybe attract their attention.
What should I do now? I have no more crickets.

But on the brighter side of things their all looking very good. Alert and fiesty.

Do you think if in the future I invested in one of those vibrating food dishes it would be worth it. Or maybe trade a baby for one if theyd be willing to do it. I could put the salad and pellets on it and maybe theyd take to it(?).

I could really use some help.

Maybe you should look into selling your babies off. that way you can afford more crickets and you can also have extra money so when you breed again you wont have this problem. Or start breeding lobster roaches. I am thinking of trying it so i dont have to worry about crickets and there smell and there darn noise that keeps me awake and calls the wild crickets to my window. grrrr i hate that part.lol

no one cares, huh... great.
