    Default Taking Care of Crickets


    Hey I just bought some crickets for the 1st time and was wondering if you should feed them or anything if so what do you give them?

    Keep them dark and cool. I throw in some saw dust and a wax worm or two once a day.

    I was always told to keep them cool and dark. Feed them a hunk of potatoe for food and moisture.

    I use potato or apple chunk, sometimes add a (very) small "dish" of water. They'll draw moisture from the food, but it'll dry-out quickly.

    They like Tofu too. Water and food all mixed together. Better them, than me.

    I just found out about the tater deal last week. Works like a charm. I still have very healthy crickets from mid last week

    I always used a potato too, like everyone said, they eat it & get moisture from it as well. Never tried Tofu or Apple, but I'd say those are great too.
