Should gut-loaded vegetables only be organic?

I just got a new veiled chameleon and am wondering if I should gutload his crickets with only organic vegetables.

I guess organic would be best but I use both.

wouldnt hurt, but might get pricey. Most GM-veggies are pretty specific in the bugs they're protected against, and its only really effective when combined with a large number of pesticides, so its probably not something you need to worry about as long as youre washing everything

Organic would be the best choice but a little pricey. If not i suggest dumping your veggies in vinegar for awhile just to get rid of chemicals.
