Incase I am not able to go out and buy crickets about once a week, what else should I stock up on? My female is about 11 months old, I feed her gutloaded crickets. I’m going to stock up on those, but my cricket home can’t hold more than like 35. The only other thing I’ve fed her before is some worms. What should I stock up on that’s good for her and lasts long for keeping?
 
Try to stock up on breeding supplies, as it will be better to breed your feeders. It will be safer for you to limit the time you leave your house, and will be cost efficient and convenient in the long run. Also make sure that you have the necessities, such as supplements, just in case. Stay safe!

Dubia roaches they don’t smell, never die, and are really easy to take care of.

Edit: also get some reptisafe incase you can’t get distilled water.

Smart tip on the water! I’ve never fed her dubia roaches before, kind of scared about that! Is there any type of worm that I could use to feed her?
 
Also as an adult her weekly needs to be healthy are only about 10 crickets a week. As a reptile their needs are dictated by heat. Depending on desperation level, I would bet if you kept them at around 70 degrees 75 basking you could go down to 5 crickets with no ill effects.

This is hypothetical of course, survival mode stuff. Not suggested as a care tip!!!!

just buy a big bin, they are like $15 at walmart. Then order 250 crickets, for 10X cheaper than the pet store. remember to feed them a bit of fruit. problem solved.

Just remember crickets, only live 8 weeks total. large size are likely 3-4 weeks already. If you were gonna stock up I would get dubia. They last much longer.

My cham finishes them all, and I buy adults.

Oh yea it is still over a months worth. And a way better way to do it. And I doubt they would be in short supply for any longer than a couple weeks.

I am giving the far fetched scenario of months in quarantine.
