    Really the store bought ones are the best kind!

    It has everything your crickets need and makes them healthy for the animal your feeding them to

    Other than that I threw in Carrots and squash, but it makes them smell worse and you have to clean up after them alot more.

    I would use the store bought cricket gut-load. But for water I often would give them fruits such as cut up apples, grapes, etc... Mainly because I can't stand that jello stuff they sell for cricket drink.

    I have also heard you can use chicken feed as a substitute for gut-load, but I'm not sure if that is as nutritious.

    I was looking through some old REPTILES magazine and I found a good article on gut loading.

    got to love old issues.
