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!

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.

$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.
