Good backup and variety foodOct 19, 2009
By smartypants

My newt is finicky, but she likes these crickets. I feed her the mini-size. I'm glad they have different sizes because she can't fit a large cricket into her mouth.
I still feed live crickets regularly, but I keep a can of these for variety and for backup, in case I ever run out of other foods.
As for nutrition, the can has all that information on the label:
Guaranteed Analysis:
Crude Protein, min 20.0%
Crude Fat, min 5.0%
Crude Fiber, max 1.0%
Crude Ash, max 3.0%
Moisture content, max 75.0%
Ingredients:
Farm Raised Crickets (Gryllus Linnaeus).
The label also says there are over 200 mini size crickets to a can. (200 crickets at ten cents each equals twenty bucks for live ones) Fewer large crickets would fit into the same sized can, but I'm sure you'd still get a lot of them for your money.

 8 Years of Life for my Bearded DragonJun 10, 2007
By Scott Jorgensen
I've been feeding these crickets to my Bearded Dragon for the past 8 years and he is as healthy as can be.
Don't forget about calcium and vitamin D3, mercury vapor or Repti sun lighting worked fine for most diurnal lizards.
I was unable to get live crickets for my dragon because I lost my license about 8 years ago, but thanks to these crickets it wasn't a problem.
If you have a young Bearded Dragon, or almost any other type of lizard, you will have to give them something that moves. In my case my Bearded Dragon was already 2 years old (10 now) and got past the 'everything must move' phase.
Refrigerate these crickets after opening and don't feed them to your lizard if the can has been opened and refrigerated for more then about a week, week and a half, or just smell them when you open the can. After a while you will know by smell if they are fresh or bad.
Great ProductJul 24, 2010
By Lilly St. James
I own a Pixie Frog and a Tokay gecko. I try to provide a varied diet for my animals. Unfortunately Petsmart has a rampant chytrid fungus problem in their African dwarf frog populations and the same employees who count out the live foods are reaching around in the infected tanks.
I didn't want to feed my animals the dried crickets because I believe they need the moisture content. I was overjoyed when I found these canned crickets. The large size ones are ENORMOUS!! I have never gotten a cricket this big in any live feeder store. My pixie frog/African bullfrog eats them enthusiastically from my tongs or if I place them in front of him and wiggle them a little with the tongs.
My Tokay is less enthusiastic about the canned crickets and shows a preference for the live ones, but she too will eat them from the tongs if she is hungry.
These are much easier to dust with vitamins too, since they are already dead and won't go jumping into the water dish right away. I keep mine in the freezer if I can't use them all in a week.

Well they are not as Nutritious as LIVE food and I am not going to reccomend them,because we do not know the conditions they where raised in.If the Crickets are not prperly "Gutloaded" they have 0% Nutrition.So My suggestion is if you want a Reptile you are going to HAVE to deal with live food and most Reptiles will not eat them.
