How many crickets?

Liquid_Metal Mar 24, 2007 10:03 PM

How many crickets does your lizard eat in a sitting. Mine chomp down about 5 today. It is about 7 inches long.

I add crickets when there aren't any more crawling around.
I don't count.

Be sure to dust them with Repti-cal calcium (with Vitamin D3) and reptivite from time to time.

but be careful when doing it that way - make sure there is something for the crickets to eat - such as gutload and vegetation, as excess crickets can attack a lizard for food if they don't have something else to eat.
