Some crickets make a bee line for the water and die. Stupid crickets.I too stress sometimes about live food and tend to disable/pre-kill food if I am not sure if my Ts will eat it right away, which seems to be often lately.My G. pulchra, rosea and pulchripes can be finicky eaters. And I try to change their meals from time to time: crickets, superworms and Dubia roaches. Crickets I usually drop in alive, the others I disable as left alone they will burrow.</blockquote>
