    Well I can see that being true with pacman frogs for one reason. Crickets are a *staple* for a lot of frog owners. As in, they are fed over and over and over to these animals. Feeding any frog the same thing continually is not 'good'. That is why people gut load and calcium dust their crickets, to make up for the lack of variety in their diet and artificially make the crickets more nutritious.

    Having cake once won't give you diabetes but eating cake 7 days a week will. So once a month having crickets won't cause any harm.

  2. This member thanks mpmistr for this post:

    Exactly. While they aren't really tired of reptomin and their occasional shrimp pellet treat, I would like to get them more vitamins and minerals as they are growing.
    Do you know anything about feeding cockroaches to ACFs? I'd imagine they would at least have a very nice protein count.
