I keep and breed a wide variety of turtle species and have been considering supplementing their diet with crickets. I don't have the time, space, or patience to try to keep a large supply of live crickets on-hand, but lately I've been wondering if there would be any reason I couldn't just freeze the crickets and then thaw and feed them out as needed. Has anybody had experience with freezing feeder crickets, good, bad, or indifferent?

Thanks,
Paul
