Ive used them, even on larger cages.
some brands are better than others (especially older ones - some had issues), and there is some concern that the internal coating can crack on the twists which over time might be a concern.
I prefer the tubes for the coverage but I wouldn't hesitate to...
agree. a good variety, some soft bodied some "chintony" and well gutloaded.
I provide crickets only 2- 3 times a month. I buy them in small quantities and feed them off after several hours of gutloading. This means no smell and practically no noise (if I am going to keep for a few...
I have been using the Repashy Calcium Plus (original strength) about once up to twice a week mixed 50-50 with Mineral-O by sticky tongue farms. The rest of the time just the Mineral-O, if anything was needed at all. I felt this was sufficient /better given I use a mix of prey and gutloads.
