    Question Cricket Life Span?

    I don't yet have a frog, but I will be getting a White's tree frog this summer, I'm just getting as much info as I can right now.

    If I have a cricket keeper fuul of (Big shocker here...) crickets and i keep them gut loaded and I put 2 or 3 crickets into the terrarium, how long will they live without being fed?

    Generally crickets can live about two months from nymph to adult, they wouldnt be too nutritious if they arent "Gut loaded". You can feed them romain, carrots, pepper you name it, all sorts of vegitables BUT if they arent fed, they will last for about a week, you can solve this by putting some cricket food in the terrarium

    Have luck with your frog!

    And also dont forget too cut the jumping legs of the crickets so that it wont hurt your frog! the jumping leg are spiky and should be removed before feeding to a frog , and also they will compete each other if no food is available by eating each other!
