Cricket/Roach Feed?

[Teamdasher]

Maybe I'm answering my own questions here, because my family eats organically and sustainably.....but what about using this "feed" for crickets? I'm ready to start keeping crickets and roaches in the garage so I don't have to go to the pet store every five seconds (or so it feels like). Is this ok to use, or should I just feed them veggies from the fridge? Has anyone use this company to order from before? They are close in proximity to my state so there is a draw for that.

Sounds like good stuff. I'm also thinking about getting crickets in bulk. The odor control Is enticing to get as I get maybe 100 crickets at a time and towards the end; I get lazy and it gets pretty stanky. Stinky things make me

Crickets, roaches, superworms, locusts can be fed a wide assortment of greens such as dandelions, kale, collards, endive, escarole, etc. and veggies such as carrots, sweet potatoes, squash, zucchini, sweet red pepper, etc.

I like to use lots of fresh veggies just for their fluid intake, other than that I make a mix of my own for them and they seem to be fat , healthy and fine. I have in it, oats, wheat bran, brewers yeast, corn and other grains.
Crickets are not picky, just want to make sure they get fresh food each day. I mean unless u r a scavenger, who wants rotting food?

Just worried about the funk factor. I have all if that food in my fridge, I just don't want the cage to get funky. I know that it means that I need to do a good job of staying on top of it, but I'm forgetful because I have three kids. Just wondering really if this is as nutritious as fresh veggies would be, since it wouldn't be as labor intensive. I wish there was a super easy way to raise those suckers.

I would go with what most companies use for water, either water crystals or just a plain potato. If you cant remember to water them, the dry food is great and placing a potato in with them supplies the water so u only need replace it when gone or to old. They will do fine this way.
