Would it not be cheaper just to use greens like what your BD eats to help gut load your crickets? Not knowing what is in those manmade gutload products would make me warry of using them. It seems you already would have on hand things to help gutload crickets that are much safer and more nutrious. Do not make it more complicated than it needs to be.

i also thought like this and wokeup to cricket diarrhea covering my whole bin from the collards

i don't give them collards i give them a protein mix i make myself and i only give them romain lettuce no collards but crickets poop alot regardless so i don't think they get diarrhea

Well, I am now keeping crickets. My set up is using the pine pellets for bedding and the greens I feed Helios with plus the dry BD food that came with his cage. The pine pellets are woking great. Really no smell from the crickets. The food is in a dish with some water in the bottom. Since the pellets break down to sawdust when they get wet and excrete from the crickets gets absorbed and dries fast. Hence the low to no smell factor. I see no reason to use artifical gut load. I have nice fat crickets. They were not so fat when I bought them but are now. They are molting also and I have only lost 3 to death. Helios seems to love them eating his fill each day along with his greens.
