So i know its usually the other way around, but i can not ever get my crickets to eat. I have potatoes dusted with dino fuel, bell peppers, kale, cricket water from reptile food.com. I have also tried carrots, its like no crickets ever want to eat. Doesn't mean where i get them from. Does anyone have any suggestions?
If your crickets aren't eating, there could be a few different reasons for this. Here are a few things to consider:
Environment: Make sure the crickets are being kept in an appropriate environment that is suitable for their needs. This includes proper temperature (around 70-75°F), humidity levels (around 60-70%), and access to water and food.
Food: Make sure you are offering a varied diet that includes both fruits and vegetables, and that the food is fresh and not too old. Some crickets may prefer certain types of food over others, so it may be worth trying a few different options to see what they will eat.
Water: Make sure the crickets have access to fresh water, either through a water dish or by misting the enclosure with water. The water dish should be cleaned regularly to prevent mold and bacteria growth.
Overcrowding: If the crickets are overcrowded, they may not have enough space to move around and access food and water, which could lead to poor health and reduced appetite. Make sure to provide enough space for the crickets to move freely.
Health issues: If the crickets have been exposed to parasites or diseases, they may not be eating as much as they should. Consider having the crickets checked by a veterinarian to rule out any health issues.
I hope these suggestions help you get your crickets eating again. If you continue to have issues, you may want to consider seeking advice from a local pet store or reptile specialist to determine the underlying cause of the problem.
