they look like tiny beatles what are they?
should i clean it out i have about 50 crickets left in there should i say screw it and clean the hole thing out?
 
Yea, Dermestids. We're actually beginning to breed our own at Small Pet Feeders, including them with our Roaches and Crickets most likely, or just to sell as a beneficial insect. As others have said, they're awesome for keeping bins clear of organic matter.
 
Can I feed these to my reptiles? I have a juvenile veiled chameleon that can't eat many types of feeders because he's small. Are these safe for him or should I definitely keep them away from him? I just got about 10 of them in my batch of crickets.
