Household Cricket Food

[Herpkid101x]

I need some advice. I was wondering if there are any good household cricket food that you can give crickets instead of having to get cricket food and water at stores. Also can you feed Gerber Baby Grain Mix to crickets(the kind that turns into otmeal when water is added then stired). It has many different vitmins and minerals inside that a cricket and Leopard Gecko would diffinitly benifit from. Please reply back.

I don't know about the oatmeal, but we feed ours potatoes, carrots, and oranges at work.

You can pretty much feed them anything just try not to give too many fruits as it rots fast and attracts flies. Better off giving them potatoes or/and carrots for moisture. Baby food is great but you can also give them ( and should mix it up so they are nutritious for your geckos ) dry dog food, fish food, rice, oatmeal, vegetable scraps, pasta...pretty much anything but change it out often. Mold is your enemy and flies are damn annoying.

i just use carrots potatoes ect. i dont doubt that they would benifit from gerber oatmeal but it makes more sense to use regular vegtables as they also have minerals and vitamins and are more commonly used

I forgot that we've done the dog food on occasion too, just make sure it's a decent food and they have a source of moisture so they live longer.

I have used fruits and vegies, oatmeal, healthy cereals (dry normal cheerios), California Natural dry dog food.
