Hi all,
When I am gut loading the crickets for my pets I normally use organic cereal and fruits and vegetables such as apples,potatoes and sweet potatoes aswell as carrots. I rinse them off with hot water to remove any harmful chemicals such as pesticides etc. Is this enough? I know there are gut load diets that are available at the local pet stores and I am sure that the crickets I buy from PetSmart are already gut loaded with it as it is usually what I see the store placing in their bins. However I do not trust the store bought gut loads for insects as I feel they are not as nutritious as real vegetables. Is there other options to feed crickets that are available at grocery stores?
