Cricket pets.

Thats a good sign. Does anyone anything about these guys nutritional value?

Many wild amphibians eat beetles as the staple food in their diets, so I would expect them to be a decent nutritional value. Probably similar to mealworms - those are beetles too.

hmm i wonder if its possible to keep/breed them as a staple.

[John]

I would think it's difficult - generations can take several weeks or longer, depending on temperature. I would think it's easier to culture crickets in large numbers.
