Thank you. Those helped very much.

One more question, though. Is mixing wet and dry gutloads okay? Like, having a mixture of apples, oranges, and cranberries along with nuts, sunflower seeds, and bee pollen. Just didnt know if it mattered or not.

 

[sandrachameleon]

yes you can mix em
I prefer to keep separate cuz the dry stuff lasts longer than fresh/wet

 

[MantisFTW]

Okay, thanks. I didn't think it mattered much so long as you froze it, and gave the crickets a little at a time so it doesn't go bad in the cricket keeper.

Im about to make a dry gutload. Is this good?

Crushed sunflower seeds (shelled and unsalted)
Hemp seeds
Dried mango
Crushed peanuts
Dried papaya
Cranberry raisins
and I might mix in some of the storebought Flukers cricket diet as well.

This will be my wet gutload:

Carrots
Oranges
Apples
Dandelion leaves
Lemon
Grapefruit
Potato

im reading this and im seeing hemp isnt that marijuana?... like u wanna toss your extra pot seeds in the blender? i never thought of the seeds a food for anything lol

HAHAHAHA... no.... anyone can eat hemp seeds. They're good for you, on a salad or something. My dad buys them because he's a health nut and likes organic things. You can buy them at places like Drug Emporium I think.
