Customer Reviews

Good backup and variety food
My newt is finicky, but she likes these crickets. I feed her the mini-size. I'm glad they have different sizes because she can't fit a large cricket into her mouth.

I still feed live crickets regularly, but I keep a can of these for variety and for backup, in case I ever run out of other foods.

As for nutrition, the can has all that information on the label:
Guaranteed Analysis:
Crude Protein, min 20.0%
Crude Fat, min 5.0%
Crude Fiber, max 1.0%
Crude Ash, max 3.0%
Moisture content, max 75.0%

Ingredients:
Farm Raised Crickets (Gryllus Linnaeus).

The label also says there are over 200 mini size crickets to a can. (200 crickets at ten cents each equals twenty bucks for live ones) Fewer large crickets would fit into the same sized can, but I'm sure you'd still get a lot of them for your money.

8 Years of Life for my Bearded Dragon
I've been feeding these crickets to my Bearded Dragon for the past 8 years and he is as healthy as can be.

Don't forget about calcium and vitamin D3, mercury vapor or Repti sun lighting worked fine for most diurnal lizards.

I was unable to get live crickets for my dragon because I lost my license about 8 years ago, but thanks to these crickets it wasn't a problem.

If you have a young Bearded Dragon, or almost any other type of lizard, you will have to give them something that moves. In my case my Bearded Dragon was already 2 years old (10 now) and got past the 'everything must move' phase.

Refrigerate these crickets after opening and don't feed them to your lizard if the can has been opened and refrigerated for more then about a week, week and a half, or just smell them when you open the can. After a while you will know by smell if they are fresh or bad.

"EMI"
Well they are not as Nutritious as LIVE food and I am not going to reccomend them,because we do not know the conditions they where raised in.If the Crickets are not prperly "Gutloaded" they have 0% Nutrition.So My suggestion is if you want a Reptile you are going to HAVE to deal with live food and most Reptiles will not eat them.
