Default sorry.

sparkle u really know your stuff, but so far everyone thats poken about this has said crickets only once or twice a week. young cresties especially in their first 2 months will eat everyday to every other day and this needs to be crickets for the protein (which promotes quick growth). cresties are naturally insectivorous and will seek fruit in the wild as a supplement to their diet not a staple.
ive bred cresties and raised the hatchlings with cricks most days (only about 4 at a time so they dnt get overwhelmed) and then baby food twice a week.
im sorry im not trying to say what your saying is wrong im just adding my opinion to it thats all.

hi thats fine

i never get annoyed at other opnions.. its good to know various ways tried and tested.. and no reason why i cant try in future your method versus my methos and see the results...

im not adverse to having my mind changed and i like ot hear different views

one thing i had to explain to someone once was not to overfeed crix ..

they fed adults crix every day

the breeding females if fed calcium crix every day can become over calcified resulting in over laying if gravid too many clutches etc..

also too MUCH calcium crix can be just as detrmental as none
