Cutting my loss

[JoXie411]

I’m starting to think there may be something wrong with my cricket supply. They smell soooooooll bad like 100% worse then I’m used to and they are Dying off so fast. I don’t think it’s safe to feed to make Chams. I bought them from a mom and pop shop who keeps the crickets in a box they get shipped in for idk how long b4 I buy them

Agreed. Ghanns is amazing. Their banded crix are awesome I’ve ordered from them 10 or more times in the past. But I’ve switched to discoid roaches.

 

[jamest0o0]

Same here, I feed roaches almost exclusively, but if I ever buy crickets I get ghanns

I've been using Josh's Frogs for a couple years now. They have excellent customer service and great pricing.

All my pets eat red runners. They are the number one feeder insect. But I also use crickets, I bought them from a seller who breed his own crickets for his fish. So they are really healthy.

Good luck. I suggest that you buy crickets from a reputable source though.

I wish I could use red runners, but they worry me with getting loose and reproducing.

Yea I was trying to be nice by supporting a local business but my chameleons health is more important

The only time they can escape is during feeding time. I always smash escapees as quickly as possible before they can run into inaccessible places, I play it safe like that.
