    Default Canned crix taste salty

    I made friends if mine eat the canded crickets and they said they were salty. Exoterra doesn't have sodium listed on label, and I guess I should've made my friends do pepsi challenge, and taste test live ones also. My frogs have gotten continually browner, and I'm thinking maybe salted crix are the reason. So anyone else feed canned and notice change in color of frogs, or also think crix smell salty, or taste salty if you're brave. I've searched this forum fir answers before, nothing found on salt content.

    Maybe peep thaught this was a joke, hence no replies. But no, i made my friends eat them. OK, I called exoterra today to see about HOW they are canned. According to them they are put into can alive, nothing added. Any salty taste, is natural cricket flavor.

    OK..Can I just ask..how did you get your friends to eat them?

    Ive never fed my frogs food that wasn't live. I didn't even know frogs would go for dead food.

    Oh, just ask. He read label, like to make sure there's nothing weird in there. He knows bugs are eaten by many cultures, and real thaught nothing of it. And then theother guy was his cousin, genetic abnormality maybe. LOL.

    not really that odd. I got a friend of mine to eat an adult lobster roach.
    He didn't think twice,

    as for being salty, i dont think that would have anything to do with your color change.

    I thaught they smell like soy sauce(shou) real salty. Maybe like they're canned for human consumption and salted for taste, and slapped their label on there. I thaught salt wasn't good fir frogs, just as medical treatment. So was worried. My whites are over a year, maybe older than that. Who knows how long they were jammed in shoebox size cage at petstore. Just trying to eliminate possibilities.
