Thread: Locust vs Crickets

I need some help please

It applies to those who have used locust as a staple feeder

I'd prefer to use locust over crickets, and have done for the last two weeks. I think they're much safer for my chams then crickets as they wont take a chunk out of them while they are sleeping
I find them much easier to handle and dust too.

The thing is... there are loads of uneatten bugs in the enclosure... the numbers do go down or i'd have a load more in there then there is, but i'm still worried.

Do pygmys only shoot prey that is on the ground?

The locust climb the whole enclosure and prefer to walk around the branches instead of staying on the ground.

Will they take out the climbers?

I really look forward to hearing everyones words of wisdom, thanks

I think you may be right... i switched back to crickets and my pygmies love it

I'll just be careful for any uneatten food, but to behonest they dont last all that long
