I hear you guys on the whole cockroach deal, and I know that they are easier for a Pyxie to digest, as opposed to crickets. But, however, my parents would not allow cockroahes in our house. That would tip them over the edge to the point where I would never obtain another fish, amphibian, or ever a first reptile.
Guys, if crickets are too hard on Pyxie's stomachs, or if they need cockroaches in their diet, I am simply not going to get them if I can't meet their feeding needs. If crickets wont work, or they need cockroaches, I will stop looking into Pyxie's, because really, what other choice do I have other than being cruel?
