[gecko]Geckos and crickets

OK...question for you all. I've been in reptiles for 15 years however am fairly new to cricket eating animals. I have finally established my leopard gecko colony and have decided to change over from 8 dozen crickets a week from Petco to 500 delivered via the mail. When I received them, I dumped

Re: [gecko]Geckos and crickets

I think that leaving geckos in an enclosure with 500 crickets is a potential disaster. - possibly stress out the animals with so many crickets crawling all over them - possibly have the crickets inflict physical harm to the geckos Crickets can be pretty low maintenance. What do you do with the 8

Re: [gecko]Geckos and crickets

I use alfalfa as cricket tub substrate... they eat it (in addition to all the other goodies I feed them) and it helps with the smell of cricket feces. I buy bags of alfalfa sold as hamster food. Of course, there is no substitute for periodic cleaning for keeping the smell of crickets down!

Re: [gecko]Geckos and crickets

Hi Stacy--- I use the guidelines below for 1,000 1 week old or 1,000 2 week old crickets at a time. It seems to me that a tank between 10-20 gallons would be ample room for 500-l,000 larger crickets.            Hassle-free Cricket Care Take a suitably
