Brown or black crickets
Whats best for baby beardie the black or the brown crickets? they told me in pet shop that black are better as they are a bit slower giving babies a better chance to catch them, is this correct?

Black are slower, slightly more meaty, and can survive a bit more humidity, so sometimes last better. They are more agressive though than the brown ones!
Either will do. I feed whichever ones are the right size!

My beardies and tarantulas seem to prefer brown, they are softer, the black ones have a harder shell. Brown ones are more jumpy than the black ones but you can always slow them down by putting them in the fridge for a bit beforehand. I have had a few nasty bites off the black ones in the past!
