Larger crickets?

[aeromyths]

Hello everyone! Darwin is starting to get bigger and I'm wondering. If the crickets I'm giving him are too small. He's eating every cricket I give him and he's very active! I'm just wondering if maybe he is big enough to start eating late crickets? I think he's around 5 months old, and right now he eats around 30 of the 1/2" crickets a day! In just not sure if he's big enough to eat the large yet, so any help would be appreciated! Thank you!

Crickets shouldn't be any bigger in length than the width of your chams head! If the crickets are to big they could choke on them!

Do you give him any other feeders? He would probably be fine moving up to larger crickets, but waiting a few months might be best just to play it safe. It sounds like you are going through crickets like crazy though, so you could try to give him 15-20 crickets and one or two mealworms or silkworms everyday instead.

If he is getting 30 half inches a day that seems like way too much. I would do like 8 crickets and a super worm or just 1 crickets

that would be a fifteen inch line of cricket in his little tummy
