I am interested in what people feed their crickets and locusts to make them as healthy as possible for their animals.

I know there are a load of pre-made products available and I am interested in peoples views of these but I am especially interested in peoples own recipes to improve the nutritional value (and general health) of their feeder insects.

So come on, what crams your crickets?

well i had a little test in which i had a bowl of cricket food (fresh) there bug gel and i put a dead un gutloaded cricket in there and they actually ate the dead cricket and fought over that rather than the cricket food.

now i feed carrot mostly along with potato and i feed my mealies peelings off the veg. my locust get spring greens or cress.

btw i peel all my food for the crickets as ive noticed they dont eat the skin so that goes in with the mealies

i feed mine different stuff at the time depending on whatever i have about. but i always put some fish flakes in, they seem to really like that, and it crumbles up really small so its easy for them to eat. ive found they like peppers as well they munch that down really quick

My dubia roaches I feed cat biscuits that ive put through a blender as well as porridge oats and a pies of fruit or veg everyday they seem to love carrot and banana.

Curty!

I feed my crickets, apples, pears, oranges, potato, carrotts, fish flaeks... and pretty much anything else Vegy or Salady that's hanging about in the fridge.

Have found they like grapes and oranges the most as they're soft fruits and can get their teeth right inot them haha.

Me too. When I making up the boys breakfasts, I chuck the extras/peelings in with the locusts. They seem to enjoy the lettuces and cabbages more than anything else, but apple always goes down well.

My live food gets:

Cucumber
Fish Flakes
Apple
Banana
And Weetabix

I find that they eat the cucumber very quickly, so it could be their favourite.
