NO MORE NOISY CRICKETS!

[lthrbecks]

I've finally decided to no longer buy anymore crickets. This is due to the noise they make in either Hammy's vivarium or any escapees!
I've decided to try out red runner roaches instead. I'm already feeding him dubia roaches along with wax worms every few days. I will also be buying silkworms to help with any rehydration. Will the new diet suffice?
If, and only if, i ever need to buy crickets again, I'll try youngsters ie ones without their wings! I've also been advised that banded crickets are less noisier, due to their softer exoskeleton. Phew!
Any further advice would be much appreciated folks. Thank you so much. Mark

Mark you can of course cut crickets out of the diet. Many of us do. Roaches gut load far better then crickets. It is just about offering a variety that is all.

Wax worms are a bit fatty so just make sure those are treats.

Fantastic my prayers are answered!

Until I got my beardie and then baby cham, I hadn’t used crickets for many months. Roaches, BSFL and silkworms were my staples.

The sooner the crickets go, the better!
