How much gutload do I need for my crickets?

Cricket Food at CricketFood.com?
There are too many variables that come into play to really answer this question. The quantity of crickets, their size, the air temps, the number of pets feeding on the crickets and amount of vegetation provided for hydration all must be considered. Some of our customers only buy 1 pound every 2 months, others purchase 25 pounds each month, some even more.

How big do crickets need to be?

Ask Wes : Frequently Asked Questions
Roof crickets are the roof design element to slow down and redirect water coming down the roof above a large roof protrusion (chimney, skylight or wall). If this is not done, then water can splash over the back saddle flashing and cause a leak. The minimum requirement is that a cricket or diverter be in place on all protrusions wider than 30 inches.

Why are they called Crickets?

Handy Cricket FAQ
We wanted to emphasize our Crickets' ability to communicate with one another, and we were inspired by the image of a field of crickets chirping with one another. Where did the Handy Cricket come from? The Handy Cricket is based on ideas and technology developed in the Cricket project of the Lifelong Kindergarten group, headed by Mitchel Resnick, at the Media Laboratory at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). The core Cricket design was begun by Brian Silverman with Fred Martin in 1995.

What should I feed to my crickets and how often?

Kricket's Kritters - Organically fed Bearded Dragons an...
Use a calcium-rich gut load dry food diet, as well as certified-organic carrots, potato, and sweet potato/yams, and stems from the dragon veggies or your family meals. Crickets should be fed 1-2 times per week depending on how many crickets you are housing and how much and how fast they consume what you provide. Do not feed more than can be consumed before the food dries out or goes bad as this can cause mold and bacterial contamination.

How do I get the crickets out of the shipping box?

Grubco | Frequently Asked Questions
Carefully remove the tape from the box and quickly dump contents into a large plastic garbage bag or can. With the crickets in the bag or can, they cannot jump or crawl out because the sides are too slick. You can then easily pour the crickets into your aquarium or box. You can use the egg flats the crickets are shipped in to give them something to crawl on. This is important. Please provide clean, fresh potatoes, etc for moisture and be sure to keep your container clean.

How did the 'Crickets' Soccer Academy get its name?

FAQs
There are three competing theories for this. The first is that the league was named after a loyal and faithful horse named 'Cricket', well-known to residents of Stanislaus County, and whose story is heard by every group of SAYSO players that participate in Soccer in the Woods as they pass by Cricket's home field. Another theory is that the academy was so named because the young players have so much energy that they jump around the field like crickets.

Why are my crickets dying? Why do my crickets smell so bad?

Kricket's Kritters - Organically fed Bearded Dragons an...
If you crickets are dying on their backs with their legs twitching and are quite crunchy, or they are eating each other, then they are likely not receiving enough moisture. If your crickets are dying and they are quite dark in color, and smell bad, you are probably providing too much moisture. Try providing less food each time you feed them, or try using foods that aren't as moist, such as potatoes, carrots, yams, sweet potatoes, and vegetable stems from dragon salads.

Why do I suddenly hear crickets chirping?

Searchlight Crusade: September 2006 Archives
When so-called moderate moslems condemn such acts in no uncertain terms, undertake political risk to condemn, circumvent, and hunt down and punish extremists who perform these kinds of actions, then I will believe that they actually are moderates. When accomodating the opinions of an 'islamic community' is more important, I call those people sympathizers, not moderates. Consider the history of the Ku Klux Klan here in the United States.

So are they kinda like crickets???

Slow Travel Forums - message board, vacation rentals, villas...
I'm sorry, but this made me guffaw! Glad I didn't have a mouthful of coffee. No reflection on anyone's nationality, just the phraseology. In Italy it is not always forbidden to go to the beach or to hotsprings naked, but it is just not common. We don't like nudity for catholic traditional reasons I imagine, even though, nowadays, it has probably nothing to do with religion. It is just istitutionalised prude.

Can I keep my crickets in my garage or basement?

FAQ From New York Worms
That depends upon how hot or cold the space is. Crickets should optimally be kept at 80 degrees F. and most garages or basements are too cold. The best way to maintain the temperature is with a light bulb in a reflector directly on the screen top of your cricket tank.

Why switch from crickets to roaches as feeders?

FAQ From New York Worms
Many reasons. Unlike crickets, feeder roaches are easily to raise, make no noise and do not smell. They have a higher meat to shell ratio than crickets and are eagerly consumed by even the most picky eaters. Once you get your own feeder roach colony established, you never run out of food for your animals. Plus the young roaches are available in a variety of sizes to accommodate all your animals, from the smallest to the largest.

What can I do to keep crickets from taking over the exterior of my home and office?

Metro Pest Control
Crickets are attracted to buildings by bright exterior lights. Changing commercial lighting to sodium vapor lamps and home lighting to yellow "bug light bulbs" greatly reduces the numbers of crickets attracted. In addition, heavy ground cover (such as ivy) should be minimized in landscaping, especially next to the building. Sites where crickets could harbor, such as piles of lumber and bricks, should be removed.

Can I use crickets and peanuts for treats?

FAQs
While some people do advocate the feeding of crickets and peanuts, here at Glidin' High it's not a risk we feel comfortable taking. Both treats can contain aflatoxins which is caused by mold. Many a glider has been lost to this heart-wrenching toxin, therefore, we don't use/recommend these treats.

What do South American Firebelly Toads eat besides crickets?

Alligator Alley--Frequently Asked Questions
Firebelly toads, Bombina orientalis and other Bombina are actually Asian (not South American) despite what some part-time reptile dealers might say. Crickets (along with vitamin and calcium supplements) make up a good basic diet. You can also feed other captive raised feeder insects such as waxworms/moths, houseflies and (sparingly) mealworms. Some firebellies will also eat feeder fish such as guppies and small goldfish.

Where is all of that noise coming from? How and why do crickets make noise?

Kricket's Kritters - Organically fed Bearded Dragons an...
Female and male crickets begin to develop their wings around their 4th week of life or around 1/2" in length. Male crickets create their "songs" by rubbing their wings together. Male crickets wings have a special "pocket" in their wings that resonates and chirps when the wings vibrate together. Male crickets make these songs in order to establish territory and to communicate with females and let them know of their location.

Why don't you sell quantities of crickets less than 1,000?

FAQ From New York Worms
We've found that the majority of the cost for a box of crickets delivered to a customer is for the box and postage. In the winter our low prices include double boxing and heat packs at no additional cost. It would cost us as much to box and ship 500 as 1,000 and do not feel it would be cost effective for our customers. Most pet shops don't carry a full size range of crickets and generally sell 2 week (1/4") crickets as Pinheads. Our Pinheads are newly hatched and are extremely small.

I was just wondering if you know of a nontoxic way to get and keep crickets out of our house?

Ozane - FAQs ::
Yes, you could purchase some glue board. They are normally marketed for mice but they are very effective in catching crickets as well. Put them in the garage and other areas where infestations are likely to start. You could also put them inside close to where you here them. Use your discretion if you have a child or pet that may get into the glue board. It best to put them in places that are out of the way.

How many will I need?

Natural Baby Frequently Asked Questions
The answer, of course, is it depends. It depends on how often you want to wash them, how heavy your flow is, etc. I recommend you start with a few and gradually make the switch from disposables to cloth. I started out with 6 regular and 3 overnight, washing every other day, and that came close to getting me through. If you don't wash that often, 12 day and 3 night is a good estimate of what you will need overall. If you use them in combination with a Diva Cup, you can get by with fewer.
