Crickets!!! OMG

[kokom05lb]

So.... I have a question! Today I went to the pet store to buy crickets and well I have mixed feelings. I just got done paying for $5 worth of crickets which only gives us 75 crickets. 75 crickets is not going to feed 2 hungry mouths esp for the size that they are.

So I was doing the math today and this is what I came up with:
I'm currently feeding my 3 month old Ringo and my 4-5 month old Angel 10-15 crickets each a day. Thats 150+ crickets for 15 days for 1 mouth plus a couple silkworms which I may have to stop feeding them. Anyways thats 300 crickets for both chams for 15 days. That brings up a grand total of $36 spent on crickets just for 2 weeks... OMG!!!

So, I guess I'll do ALL my cricket shopping online.

I had to start my own colony this week because of the price of crickets. It is now 15 to the dollar. I highly recommend breeding your own

There's a shop near me that has them for .05¢. Not worth my efforts to breed. But I do have a thriving colony of dubia!
