I prefer the black crickets to the brown ones, they are a lot easier to catch.

The brown ones I hate cause they are to fast and as much fun as it is to watch my beardie try and catch them, I just dont like them and when trying to put them in with my beardie a few of them always escape.

i feed my beardies on locus now, maybe slightly more expensive but if you get them from the right place they are cheap and very good quality

Put your crix in the fridge for ten minutes before you feed them to your pet, slows them right down

But if they do get loose then the hoover comes out lol.

Black field crickets every time (as long as not too big for the beardie) The brown house crickets are a nightmare as they live for ever and establish colonies if they get out in the house.

Got them brown ones today from a different shop .I went to Zoars in neath and I found them to be a lot more helpful with advice. and the crickets were cheaper at £2-15.
