big crickets!?

[zennygirl]

i think these crickets i just got are definitely too big for my babies. right now they are running around with the crickets in their mouths like dogs with chew toys. will they spit them out if they are too big? get them down eventually? they won't choke will they???! i feel bad. i asked for younger crickets but they had too many mixed together and now i screwed up and i am worried. i am a new cresty owner so all help appreciated thanks.

well, i guess they managed just fine. they are licking their chops. i just panicked for a moment. anyway, what is the rule of thumb as far as prey size to gecko size?

by the book, crickets should be no larger than the width of their heads. measuring across from eye to eye. i've seen them eat larger though with no problems.
