hey guys, im interested in getting two leopard geckos and wondered whether leos could be feed solely on a diet of Zoo Med Repti Cricket. they are dried crickets see: http://www.reptiles.swelluk.com/reptile-supplies/reptile-food-412/dry-reptile-foods-439/zoo-med-repti-cricket-25760.html once in a while id also feed live food however. the reason unfortunately, is that i dont think the parents would be too happy with live crickets in the household. obviously i dont want to risk the health of the reptile. you advice would rock.

not too sure about that,but you can get "can o crickets" and there is a vibration dish on 888reps somewhere.

you could also go for mealies as they are a good recommended diet and easy to hide.

lots of choices.

I use live food and never tried these so i can't comment. I think that mealies would be better as they are live food so will have a better nutritional value than dead crickets. Also they dont make a noise and like daxb said they will be easy to hide. Just hide them outside in a shed or something. If you keep them colder they will last longer. Just remove them from the fcold place about 30 mins before feeding. Hope this helps you ari
