Welcome to the forums!

is it okay to gut feed the crickets apples/carrots? I wasn't sure if those veggies and fruits are okay for the pacman.
Yes, it is ok and is way better then store bought cricket food, you can do oranges, any other fruits, lettuce. Make sure you supplement crickets with ca/d3 (2xweek), and multivitamins (1xweek) on a different days.

I wish mr. pac would come out and see me, he only seems interested in burrowing for 10's of hours.
That is normal and helps him feel safe, you can take some of substrate out, so he still can burrow but not to the point you dpnt see him, how big is your tank? Is it plastic keeper in the pic? If so, you need to cover 3 sides of the enclosure and if you dont have it put a plant of sorts to create a hide. This way he will feel more safe.


if anyone could take a guess at the species/sex that would be nice too.
that is C.cranwelli, too young to sex yet.


p.s. He is so pretty!
