Review on ๐Ÿฆ— Enhance Your Cricket's Diet with Fluker's Orange Cube Complete Cricket Diet by Dawn Ohara

Revainrating 5 out of 5

They didn't all die overnight, but maybe I cheated.

So I ordered this online because it was cheap and then searched for crickets and bought them from Flukers. This means Flukers probably already fed them that diet, so it's unlikely they'll all be dead in 24 hours. So the several hundred crickets I bought for my geckos started running into my room before I caught them. I ended up having to clog the bathtub, put the box in, and set up the cricket basket. I put Eco Earth on the ground with some garden soil and earthworms and then egg crates. As a result, there was already moisture in the box, which protected it from the high summer temperatures. Then I put the cricket food in there. Hungry, they quickly ate the food and destroyed 8 cubes in 2 days. And guess what? They didn't die, probably because they were used to this food. I've noticed that different cricket cultures behave differently. Subconscious choice maybe. But Flucker's Crickets are masters of flight. A group of them tried to escape. But they were also easily gutted. The large chain crickets that I buy are usually very docile and don't move quickly. They also die quickly. which confuses my geckos when I switch between crickets. And then there are really active but non-escaping crickets at my local pet store. fleeing population of crickets, the rest of the population doesn't seem to mind eating this food that much. Also, the mealworms I gave it to seemed pretty happy eating it. I really have no complaints other than flukers breeding runaway crickets. But the food worked for me. You should consider preparing foods without citrus flavors so people with arachnids can also benefit from gut-laden insects. I've read that arachnids hate citrus fruits and this product has quite a few of them.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Almost never
