This is a wake up call to do two things:
1. Grow your own crickets
2. Grow alternate species as well, such as black field crickets (culture is same as domestics)
I am feeding a big gang of lizards and toads, and would hate to have to depend on an outside source for this very easy to produce at home food item.
