Do crickets eat cloth?

[Jamiewalker198]

Had some crickets get loose in my bedroom and I'm finding little holes in clothes left on the floor but I'm not seeing any crickets! Has anyone had this problem? Do crickets eat clothes?!
What made me think it was the crickets is I must have left a cricket in the plastic sandwich bag I use for calcium dusting because this morning there was a little cricket sized hole in the bag...
What say you?

Yes crickets chew cloth. They will also drive you nuts chirping. I use glue traps in my reptile room but I put them upside down. The ones I use have little pegs that lift them up a bit and that way they catch the escaped feeders but not my birds or chams.

They eat cardboard too.

I'm having a hard time trying to think of something crickets DON'T eat.. except for obvious things like glass and metals. Anything they can bite is pretty much food for those things!

They even ate through the window screen I used to make a "Sunny-D Death Trap"
Thought the stuff was made of metal, but I guess its some kind of composit!!??

Maybe it IS made of metal? I'm sure they can chew their way through soft metals.. I was referring to the "hard metals" like a computer desk leg or something

On a side note, they ate through the sponge that was holding their water... Now I just let them drown! > : ( (Kidding, I just fill it up with fruit and veggies with some pulp from juicing so they can climb out of the feeding bin!)
