Cricket diet help

[ellenngracee]

I have read many things about cricket diets, but I still cannot grip the concept. Here are a few questions I need pointers on.

1. How many/how often should should i put crickets in the cage?

2. How do you retrieve crickets/ put food and water in the container without any escaping?

3. Should I be handfeeding all the time?

4. How often should I powder crickets when feeding?

5. If i am already using a suffecient supplement powder, is it necessary to us vitamins with the gutload?

6. What portion of food/water should be left in the cricket cage. Is it okay to put a lot and just clean it out the next day or so?

I know this seems like a little much, but I have done my research and i cant find a good enough source. Your answers are appreciated!

Could anyone point me to some good websites for these topics?

I typed in my answers behind each question....
Some very experianced keepers may disagree and have thier own proven systems they use...... But these products are being reviewed as we speak and so far all is going well!

Thanks everyone. Is there any downsides to feeding crickets artificials?

Sounds like people are just going the easy route and not homemaking gutliad..
