Whats better crickets or locusts?

[trickster172]

just bulk buy some locusts, once you've had locusts both you and your beardy will not want to go back to crickets! No noise, smell, escapees etc.

We get ours in bulk form - Reptilekeeping The online Reptile Shop, Selling Livefoods Reptile Accessories and Equipment.

Dubias have just as big a mouth as locusts do, and could do a similar amount of damage. Whatever you feed your reps there is a small chance it will bite your rep in self defence, just have to be careful.

I get my locusts from livefooduk.com, always get loads more than I order, they last for weeks and never really have any die on me.

ok thanks everyone they aint bloody cheap are they lol!

Theyre not as cheap, but if properly gutloaded can hold a lot more nutrients, so you dont need to feed as many.

And as locusts are softer shelled than crickets. you can feed slightly larger ones within reason of course.
