cricket care

[sarahlynn37]

Hi! I'm brand new to the beardie world! Have a questioin about crickets...I have been feeding my crickets prepared "gut-load" food. Now I read somewhere that if I do that, I don't have to dust the crickets before giving them to my beardie. I'm confused. Thanks for any info!

I personally wouldn't bother with spending the extra money on the commercial cricket gutload. I would just feed them the greens you offer your dragons and some fish flakes and/or ground up cat food and toss a carrot in for moisture. If you still wish to use the commercial gutload you still have to dust the crickets

I feed my crickets collard or whatever that is damage and would not feed to my dragons but not rotten or yellow. I still dust my cricket.

No need to buy gut load...just use the greens in your fridge that you would feed your beardie. Some also use fish food.
