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?

Either will do!! Giving them brown gives them a chance to exercize more and work for their meal. Gte both!

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!

Talk about more agressive they dont keep them in the bags at my reptile shop anymore coz they munch their way through! They keep them in a big black bin now!

Na i defnitley prefere the black ones! I keep them in a tiny glass viv and they are alot easire to pick up and chuck in with the bosc!!

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!
