How Many Crickets do you go through?

[drcrossfire]

I'm down to 3k per week... but once more clutches hatch... eek

Just curious as to how many you guys use? Who's going to be the winner, with the highest cricket usage!?!?!

That would be $360 a week if you got crickets from Petsmart! Lol!
And I mix it up but it wouldn't be too far fetched if my panther ate 140 a week by himself

3k per week?! Can't imagine how your chameleon room looks like.

never buy crickets from petsmart. way overpriced and not as healthy. i think it's to everyone's advantage to order in bulk online....even for just one cham. i go through about 30k a month. lots of mouths to feed...

30k a month! Booyeashuckah!!

Yeah I'll never buy from Petsmart unless it's an emergency. And 30k a month??

ohhhhh. i month~ I guess that makes sense. Im at like 12k a month-- but come March/april I'll probably be at 7k per week

Iv gone through about 4000 in a few months, 1 cham, 2 geckos, an green anole and now a one year old oustalet,( though he is not eating yet for me, only had him 6 days) But when and hopefully soon when he does start eating ill be giving him more dubias than anything.

I order 2500 from my pet shop or reptile show and that usually takes 3 weeks to go threw then I'm back in ordering more. Probably around 3000 a month for me!

He is not eating yet? Sorry, I remember him from your other thread. Probably 95% on my wildcaught chameleon eat within hours of receiving them. I don't want to change the topic of this thread but you should try different things. No need for alarm yet but you should probably start a new thread or research different feeding techniques. If you start a new thread or pm me I will happily give you advice.

Back to the subject. I go through about 1000 crickets per month, plus at least 1000 a month of other feeders.

1000 a month for the adults and oldest babies. 3000 every 2 weeks for the younger babies. And I have 6 self sustaining hydei cultures going at a time for them as well. I should get some kind of friggin discount from Flukers for often I've had to order from them lately!
