Re: [gecko]Geckos and crickets

Julie... I think it's too high in protein, plus it has all sort of added vitamins (and maybe hormones) good for chickens but not especially good for crickets and the reptiles that eat them. In addition to all kinds of fresh veggies and orange wedges, I feed my crickets the gutload made from the recipe here: http://www.adcham.com/html/husbandry/gutload.html Julie Bergman wrote: Gexers, I used to use Layena (chick starter) for the crickets until I was told that is too high in something (can't remember what). Basically, crickets may not have the same nutritional requirements as rabbits and hampsters. I would purchase some good cricket food like Dr. Susan Donoghue's or Alan Repashy's and see how close these food items come to it. Basically crickets will eat just about anything, however, whether or not that is really suitable for them nutritionally is the question you need to answer. Julie B.
