cricket crack leftovers

[jcal]

maybe its just me but does anyone notice that feeders wont eat 100% of cricket crack. it seems like my dubia and crickets swarm eat most of it but there is always some stuff left behind that they wont eat. what is that stuff? i usually just dump new crack on top of the leftovers.

Jcal, yes I know what you are talking about. It seems like they leave behind certain bits of the crack.

They do leave behind bigger chunks of the crack they cant bite into....

I tend to leave over the Orange Gummy bears, and sometimes the yellow ones aswell.

Orange and yellow gummi bears, and let's not forget, Black jellybeans,...

Throw it in the air as a celebration!

Or you could try to smash it a little finer if it is indeed too large.

But all in all they do love the cricket crack over other foods!!! I feed mines veggies also and they always leave behind some parts,, I guess our bugs are boooojjjjjjiiii,,,, lol...

I noticed it as well with mine when I fed cricket crack.

Sounds like some of the harder seeds. Does the un-eaten stuff look and feel hard? like chunks, Or is it more flakey / powder?

my left over crack looks like hay bits.

(I like black jelly beans so save those for me)

Its the bigger pieces that mine dont eat. But all in all they eat it better than any other dry gutloads Ive tried.

Ahhhh, that would be the Alfalfa.

You could round up the leftovers and add some water to it, to rehydrate. Then offer to the feeders as a wet/moist paste. Just be sure to remove after a day or two, or if mold starts growing on this organic matter.

The dubias eat it all. The crickets are the lazy ones, plus they poop in their food so I think I'll skip rehydrating it!
