Message: <blockquote data-quote="Bast" data-source="post: 13737" data-attributes="member: 379"><p>That size of cricket should be fine, I didn't bother with cutting up the crickets for my obt, because she was a beast and the shop I got her from was feeding her much larger crickets (at least the same size of the spider) than I was with no issues.  My other  slings were fed pin head crickets with no issues, though they were smaller than the crickets you are feeding, so you may want to squish the heads (or cut them up as Kurt suggested)  just to be on the safe side.  Another thing you could do is see if there is a reptile shop or a smaller mom/pop pet shop, they seem to have smaller crickets than the chain store.</p></blockquote><p></p>
