crickets can be added to the diets of many animals. They are easy to handle and clean providing a more balanced diet when used to supplement prepared food. How to feed Placing the cricket's container in a refrigerator five minutes before feeding will slow down cricket activity. Feed only enough crickets that can be eaten immediately. Vitamin and mineral supplements can be sprinkled onto the crickets prior to feeding. This is particularly valuable for recently relocated, stressed or injured animals. Precaution. Escaped crickets may hide under feeding containers or in soil. These crickets may damage lizard eggs or newly hatched birds during periods of darkness.
