Do I have to feed my chams crickets? Is there a certain reason as to why they'd be more beneficial to them than other insects?
I have one with a tongue injury, where he's only able to project his tongue about 1.5", and it shoots out crooked. Crickets are too fast for him, unless I rip the back legs off, which is a pita. He's been loving the gutloaded superworms, but wasn't sure if crickets were better gut loaders, higher in calcium, etc. I tried a cricket "trap," but every time he would shoot his tongue out and miss, all the crickets would go crazy from the vibration of the attack and jump out of the trap.
