[QUOTE="bbbs53, post: 140045, member: 27439"] Unless the place you walk in and buy crickets turns them over fairly fast, one usually gets a mixture of small to large and the quantity varies by how much time the store employee wishes to expend in rounding them up out of a large trash can. Since I am only keeping one adult spider I usually only get half a dozen at a time and these last for a couple of weeks usually with one or two dying off. I have kept them in the past and will have to start in to doing so again when I move shortly and won't have a place to get them locally. In addition to space and ventilation they don't mind it being warm rather than cooler. I use an enhanced food for them along with the veggies, they seem to do fine. The store I get them from caters to reptile owners rather than spider folks, in fact they don't handle spiders at all. Unless you raise your own, you kind of get what they have on hand. [/QUOTE]
