And with crickets, your FBT does get a variety (somewhat) if you change the crickets diet. It's what the cricket has been feed that nourishes the FBT just as much if not more.

Thanks, that's what I've been reading. Funny story... I did end up ordering crickets online. I assumed that it'd be a box within a box...nope! My kids learned some interesting new words when I opened that box up while sitting on the couch. I now have a crickets crawling around the top of my living room walls. Ha!
