    Crickets are evil. I hate them and I hate having to feed things that require crickets, so I stopped keeping anything that can't get by without them. Good luck finding that elusive cricket though.

    I found a local b. dubia breeder/seller, I might see if my frogs will eat those...I think my parents would freak more finding an escaped ROACH though.

    I have an adult cricket somewhere in my viv, too. I'm just waiting that dang thing out and hoping it dies soon. I have looked and looked for it, and I can only tell the general area it's in. Somewhere by the water dish. No matter how hard I look, I can't find it. Stupid cricket.

    I'm with John, crickets are evil.

    Mine is somewhere behind the raised lagoon, an area I made tight enough so no frogs could get to! But you'd think it would be coming out to munch on vegetation or something. 4 gray tree frogs dont generally let a cricket slip by!

    I have fed young Blaptica dubia cockroaches to gray tree frogs. They need to be small though.

    The person sells all different sizes of dubias. I don't think I can get them small enough for the peepers even when they are adult sizes though. I think those little guys will be on fruit flies forever.
