Possibly stupid question about gut loading crickets

[JMDaniels]

I think you'll be alright. As you said, there are a lot of people who feed their crickets all kinds of things including cat food, dog food, fish flakes, and even chicken feed. Frogs and bearded dragons have very similar diets in nature. Obviously I cannot see the ingredients that make up your beardie's dry pellets, but assuming that none of them are toxic, it is probably safe. You could probably google search each of the individual ingredients if you want to be 100% sure.

If the bearded dragon food is safe to feed your dragons, then it's safe to feed the crickets... the beardie is going to eat the pellets either way.

A variety of gut load foods offered can make your feeder insects more well rounded and nutritious, so never be afraid to offer a variety of foods to your insects. I also like using the Repashy Bug Burger - it's a pretty cost effective food source that you can make into a gel. All my insects (worms, crickets, roaches) love the stuff!

Thanks for the replies. I figured it would be okay, I just wanted to make sure the crickets would be okay for the frogs. I'm still a nervous mommy when it comes to feeding them
