Thank you for the gut loading info Paul. I didn't realize that "gut loading" was also known as their everyday diet . I have only been using your mix for a few weeks but it seems to be working just fine. I can tell you this, I put it in their container beside the commercial diet I was trying to use up and they literally ran over to your mix. I think they are actually eating more, now that I have stopped using the store bought stuff. I have only lost a few crickets since I started raising them almost two months ago. So far so good!
