Hi i went to my local yesterday and they only had some very small brown crix in,
What can i feed them to make them grow the quickest and is there any way i could breed them so i ain't forkin out every week for new crix ? ?
Cheers James

Hi James, if you read the threads in this section called growing crix by millar and wat is gutloading by speedy123, they might be helpful! :?
If you put "growing reptile live bait" into google or metacrawler, there are loads of sources of info. Melissa Kaplan is a US vet whose info on www.anapsid.org might be worth catching too.
Good luck with it.

Hi Jimbob, if you want to get away from buying cricks to breeding your own live foods, i'd forget about cricks if I were you. Build your self a colony of roaches, there have been a few threads on them on this forum. They are much cleaner than cricks and are easy to breed. There are a few ppl about who'd sell you a culture to get you going. In my opinion, a better way to go if you want to breed your own.
