[QUOTE="MassExodus, post: 53408, member: 4086"] Hate em. But you are correct, if you keep them even for a few days to feed to your spiders, you should provide what they need to be healthy and thrive. Personally, I stopped buying crickets because they die too fast, stink, and carry dangerous pests and bacteria straight from the supplier to our spiders. Most nights the chirruping actually helped me fall asleep, so the noise wasn't an issue unless I went to bed aggravated about something. I recommend a roach colony to anyone who asks, any type of roach colony, laterallis, dubia, hissers, whatever. (Although I'm quite fond of my hissers...)They're easy to breed and raise and keep relatively clean. I'll never go back to crickets. Ever. I'll catch grasshoppers in my back field first. Which is never a good idea, so don't do that either..you never know where they've been, or what pesticide they've crawled through or eaten..but at least they weren't in a filthy stinking disease ridden cricket colony at a petstore..Sorry, you kicked off my own rant Kymura..
