Number Crickets Monthly?

[Brad]

We thought it would be interesting to see how many crickets members are going through on a monthly basis. How many are you using? How many chameleons or other reptiles are eating those crickets?
Please do not mention any company names.

[kokom05lb]

Im looking to spend about a 1000 to 2000 depending on my roach colony.

 

[Sohumvet]

I have standing order for 4000 per week broken down as 2000 1/4 inch, 1000 1/8 inch and 1000 3/4 inch/adults.
We use these to feed the Parsonii, numerous Pygmy leaf chameleons, panthers and Jackson's. Also we use them for praying mantis, numerous tarantulas and a frog. I think that's it!

In addition I go thru about 200 hornworms a week and many dubias.

This is one expensive hobby.

 

[Olimpia]

I typically order anywhere between 500-2,000 crickets monthly, depending on how many roaches I decide to feed. In addition to the 7 chams I have my three African fat tail geckos. But most of them are adults, so I'm thankfully not feeding all 7 chameleons 20 small crickets daily, and therefore don't need to order as many crickets as I've needed to in the past.

 

[Chameleonmaster]

Every month I buy 1000 1/2 inch crickets for my chameleons and my mantises. Some months I will go threw more but most of the time it's around 1000-1200

 

[ChameleonCans]

In a month we hit over 5,000 crickets. We also fly through fruit flies as well. Our roach colonies have produced very little in 2013. Phelsuma seem to go through less crickets. I wish we still worked with those. However, chameleon have been an amazing adventure.

 

[dacrazycanadian]

For my one chameleon I use about 360-420 a month in a mix of 1/2"-3/4" size.

 

[ChamyLove]

I have an 8 month old Panther, and I go through about 250 a month.

 

[Snootchie0210]

One panther chameleon (8 months). I get 150 crickets a week. So 600 crickets a month. Damn that's a lot. I didn't think Dexter ate that much. And I give him treats too. =P

 

[maxttu]

I'm ordering 500 1/4" and 500 3/4" every two wks or so. 5 adults and 3 thirteen wk old babies. Babies will be gone soon, so half of this will go away...for now!

 

[monstertankman]

I order 500 1/2 inch crickets every two weeks for just my male veiled's. So 1,000 monthly.

 

[lovepicasso]

Much less than when he was only 4 to 7 months old or there about, he could really put away the crickets at that time......now maybe 6 dozen a month, if he is hungry.

 

[ronstafari]

I'm going through about 1000 a month between my chams 1/4-1/2 also about 1000 silkies and 200 hornworms.

 

[reefercheefer]

I purchase a box of 1000 large and 1000 1/4 inch every 2 weeks. plus worms. plus fruit flies for babies.

Feeding 2 male adult panthers, 6 female adult panthers, 16 4-month old panthers, 20 1-month old panthers.

 

[Dez]

I get minimum 5,000 a week.. (some times more) So that would be 20,000 a month..but we have a lot of chameleons

 

[Iluvheidi]

three chameleons 1 adult 2 babies I run threw about 800 crickets a month.

 

[alewilli]

Im curently going through 350 a month, and have 1 panther Chameleon.

 

[jannb]

Right now I'm buying 2000 a month but I'm also feeding my mantis.

 

[hammer12721]

i have 3 five month old veiled chameleons

i go through 1000 a month

How many Feeders

I use locust and worms, but even then it is about 5 per week for my two and a halve years old Panther Feldman.
I think question asked badly though.
How many per one and how old is this one would be very interesting to know..
