Crickets for my sav
So I've decided to order crickets online from a business called Canada crickets by the 1000s. It's located in Kitchener! I see it as every week I have to buy 100 crickets for cass and night crawlers. That alone costs me 15 -20 bucks a week. The price of 1000 crickets at this store is 25 for 1000! That's unreal never knew it was that cheap for crickets. Plus now I have a beardie as well! So I'm going to be ordering my crickets online now untill my roach colony gets started! My sav roughly eats 15-20 crickets a day with 5 night crawlers! But every third day he eats 30 crickets or something like that! My beardie is an eating machine too!!! So i figured this would be the best way to feed them. Any other suggestions? I love my sav and my wonderfull beardie! Any name suggestions for my beardie? Don't know the sex yet!

Re: Crickets for my sav
Set them up much as you would roaches, except add some dirt substrate.

Re: Crickets for my sav
I either get them from my reptile store or a friend who breeds them.

Re: Crickets for my sav
$23 for 1000
Sometimes if they have had them for a while and some may be dead they will throw in another box of 1000 for free. I just make sure I have them for 24 hours befor e i feed them off so I can give the crickets a good feeding.

Re: Crickets for my sav
When Littlefoot arrives, I will be ordering some crickets.
My only other option around here is that pet store with the sav girl languishing in a fish tank.
