Why we choose not to feed crickets and advise against it;
It’s as simple as crickets are prone to carrying parasites. Are they a cheap and easy solution to feed? Yes. Do they provide protein and hydration? Yes. However, vet visits are neither cheap or easy.
We choose dubia and other insects to protect the health of our animals.
Our dragons also eat a variety of greens and we dust with calcium. We do not feed fruits again for the health of the animals. Fruit is high in sugars and contributes, if not causes, mouth rot.
Everyone has different preferences, ours is to maintain the health of our animals and not spend more money and time in the vets office if we can avoid it.
