Hi everyone,

I was in a reptile shop recently, and i saw a huge cricket (well thats what it said on the box) and i was wondering what species it actually was. It was priced at £10 for the 1 cricket, but was huge.

Sorry for all of these noobish questions, im still learning and deciding what i can feed my beardies.

Thanks

Karl

probably an armored cricke people keep them like they do taratntulas not to feed off

Ok, that makes sense.

They were near the lizards, so was abit unsure why anyone would be paying £10 for something to feed to them, when you could actually just get 5 boxes of medium crickets for the same price.

However, could they be used for feeders if i bred them? imagine they would keep a beardy full for a couple of days.

They are very difficult to breed. Also they are well armoured, hence the name, and have a strong bite.
