Yes - they grow very quickly (But kept cooler, they won't mature as
quickly). But you can get crickets in all sizes. If you order 7 day old's
you'll have them a lot longer. And, you'll be mighty surprised at what even
a juvenile leopard can take down :)

Barbie,
Thanks for the reply. I was afraid you were going to say that.
Scott and I purchased some awfully large crickets last weekend and the
first couple of days, it seemed like everything was fine; however, by mid
week, we started to see regurgitated crickets in the cage. That is when we
decided that the size of those crickets were too large.
The rest of the crickets that we had on hand, were frozen to death --
we put them inside a bag and out in the yard they went. I felt sorry for
the crickets, but what is worst dying from cold or getting eaten.....
I'll have to search the Internet for 7-day old crickets to see how
big they are and then I'll talk to Scott.
Thanks again for your help,
Becky
