What Can I Feed Crickets?

[Ash]

As for white potatoes, commercial retailers as well as producers of Feeder Insects like crickets and Roaches are notorious for feeding what is cheap to the crickets. This is why these crickets are often diseased underfed and they die to soon before you can fully use them. We got tired of buying crickets and feeders from large commercial dealers or so called Pet "Superstores" that died too soon and we decided to become a smaller successful not so "commercial" breeder of feeder insects.

We take pride in NOT feeding solely on potatoes or cheap corn based feed to our crickets roaches and other feeders. We start them on a protein and calcium modified grain and move them to Natural Produce fruits and veggies, supplying a fuller nutrient profile and giving a constant Gutload to your Feeder insects that you simply maintain before feeding to your pets. Feeder Insects that are Pre-Gutloaded are better for your frogs and other pets.

Nothing wrong with potatoes they are ok just not very nutrient dense like cheap corn products. We usually ship our feeders with potatoes however because of the moisture content for the trip rather than for the nutrients. Any animal fed solely potatoes will not thrive As is the case of many foods, variety should be the key.. You can certainly feed them once in a while just don't make a staple or intermittently use sweet potatoes with a higher nutrient profile
