    Crickets.

    I used to like them...Now they just really, really creep me out. Plus the latest ones I picked up from the pet store are MONSTROUS.


    ....I think they might eat me.

    I recently made the switch to Dubias - so much less smell, noise, cannibalism, and they can't jump out of the tub!!!!

    Dubia are much better and easier, they donīt stink, donīt climb out or jump out of their tubs.

    Donīt cannibalize others, are VERY hardy an most of all they have a better protein/shell ratio than crix.

    Me he thought I would breed those but now I could not imagine breeding any other bugs.

    Got lucky a friend set me up with a nice starter colony.

    And the chirping...the never ending chirping!

    They're a species of roach. :) No dumb questions, only dumb answers. ;)

    That's what Dubias (breeder males and females) look like.

    Actually im just the opposite...roaches of ANY kind are jeeby and creep me out. I work at a pet store and can get any size cricket i need. All kinds of different worms too. If my Ts are hungry, i just bag a few and bring em home. NOooo WAY im bringin roaches into home.
