Default Crickets for Fire Sals

Would like to know if there are any Fire sal keepers on here that use crickets as a main source of food for there animals and how do they get on with them as i have already noticed they have to use alot more energy to catch the crickets my main food for mine is earthworms but i am having a little bit of a problem in getting enought out of my garden so i am going to try crickets for a while i also use waxworms as a treat every now and then as i know they love soft bodied prey.Does anyone use any other form of feeder

I use crickets. They have no problem chasing them, in fact they're awesome hunters, they're probably my fave pet to watch hunt. Creep...creep....creep.....POUNCE!
