    Best gutload for feeder crickets.
    I was just wondering what the best gutload would be for feeder crickets. By best i mean most nutritious for the animal they are being fed to. THanks.

    It depends on what the crickets are being feed to, what are you feeding the cricket to?

    I always used Fluker's gutload plus pieces of fruit for watering, when I kept lizards. The gutload is nice for large amounts of crickets (100+) because it's easy to dole out and easy to dump when it gets old.

    You can use a lot of things found around the house, such as unsweetened Quaker Oats, unsweetened cereals, and fruits and veggies that are high in nutritional value. I find these things cheaper and easier than commercial gutloads, even though they work well too.

    One thing I forgot...I feed my beardie a lot of Phoenix worms, which you do not need to gutload. They have great nutritional value already, especially loads of calcium. The only problem is that I can't find a store that sells them so I have to order them online.

    Yeah I used to use those but its such a pain to find them. And my beardie lost interest along time ago cus they are soo small.
