What Do You Feed Your Crickets?

[privet01]

Lettuce scraps of any sort, mostly romaine. Spinach and other greens. (I have a garden so there's always something to spare) The peelings of oranges and grapefruit that have some flesh left on them. The seeds and stuff you scrape out of a winter squash such as butternut or acorn. Carrots pieces, mushrooms, celery, most any vegetable or fruit scrap, though sometimes they don't care for fruits when other stuff is available. And they go crazy for the Rep-Cal iguana or gecko food and I've also fed them dry dog or cat food. The Rep-Cal is expensive for daily feeding, but I keep it on hand for times when the other stuff is sparse or when I'm going to be gone awhile.

I breed my own, so I've seen some broods that shun some food that other broods seem to love. I generally feed them daily and remove the old leftovers before adding the new so rot and such is no issue. However when there are 500 plus crickets in the container, they don't leave much.
