If you are in the habit of purchasing a months worth of crickets and just want to keep them alive the orange cubes will do the trick. But I would still use a quality gut load (Repashy, cricket crack, etc...) A few days before feeding along with fresh fruits and veggies. In my experience it is easier and not a lot more expensive to just use the good stuff all the time, but I only keep a few weeks worth of crickets.

It will probably provide some benefits but by itself isn't enough. I am not sure how well the crickets will transfer vitamin A in particular but if that is your specific concern use a multivitamin dust that has vitamin A once or twice a month.

Not an expert, but I use the orange cubes along with other little bits of fruit, vegetables, and greens found on any DIY cricket gutload list. But I also regularly supplement with calcium (a few times a week), D3 (about every 3 weeks), and multi vitamin (about every 2 weeks) by dusting the crickets and worms before I feed them to Iggy.

There is much better product than the Orange cube diet. I love the Repashy bug burger and superload in addition to collard greens, mustard greens, carrot and apple. I have also used kale. Again it's all going to depend how many crickets your housing. I get around 100 at a time and they eat well.

sorry, but no it really isnt. it will serve to keep crickets alive for a bit, but that's all.
you'd be better off with carrots, dandelion, etc
if you want to buy (rather than make or provide fresh), this link may be useful to you:

Equivalent to a human eating rice cakes. Plain and useless.
