They grow really quickly...they're probably full grown at 1 year if I remember correctly. That why it's important for you to dust the crickets with calcium and vitamin D3 supplement to prevent metabolic bone disease.

Well it only took a year for my male to get full grown and a little over a year for my female, but she is still growing. LOL She's at 4 1/2" and I've had her for 2 years.

my previous horned frog took less than a year to reach 5 inches long and 5 inches across.
