What Can I Feed Crickets?

[AKFROG]

I want to know if I can feed crickets the following: apples, romaine lettuce, potatoes, sweet potatoes, cabbage, tropical fish food, uncooked oats and hard boiled egg yolk. The crickets will be fed to a Horned Frog.

I would think all of the above would be acceptable. I am not sure if crickets will eat potatoes though, unless they're irish crickets.

I would like to know this also. (mostly the fish food) Can crickets live only of fish food to ''gut load them'' ~michael

Thanks Michael for the quick reply. What is the frog in the picture?

The crickets should pretty much eat most of what you offer (not sure about egg yolk) we feed our crickets and other Feeder Insects an All Natural diet consisting of grains that are moderately enriched with calcium and protein along with digestive enzymes and beneficial bacteria. We also offer fresh produce daily and they seem to prefer the fresh produce. This way we keep them gutloaded at All times. I recommend feeding a more varied diet than fish food "only" if you want a proper gutload.

You could skip the potatoes though
