[QUOTE="Phil, post: 179177, member: 4151"] I predominately feed all mine farmed/shop bought crickets. yours were happily eating the following before they were shipped Pulchra = small silent brown crickets 1-2 a week Curly = Large crickets 2 or 3 a week although would easily take dubia and locust too. Never used Calsi worms but if they are high in calcium, then in theory, like feeding rodents, the calcium in the prey COUKD cause the exoskeleton to harden which COULD be attributed to moult issues so my advice.....dont take the risk and stick to crickets in the main. BTW. Do not gut load the crickets either, like you would do reptiles, it's not needed and there is no proven benefit. if you want to give crickets something to eat to prolong life, salad leaves is fine.
