Message: <blockquote data-quote="Zeirath" data-source="post: 54571" data-attributes="member: 4131">I never had mite problems with crickets when I had my lizard a few years ago, I bought a pack of crickets with my baby T from the city and they ended up mite infested, they were only little tiny white things, which turned out to be like herbivorous mites, they annoyed my spider and made her try to climb the walls of her enclosure but didn't hurt her, I changed and cleaned the cage right away and got rid of the crickets. I think my Aunt would throw a hissyfit if I kept cockroaches tbh, as it is she is only tolerating my spiders cos they are in my room and out of sight haha.I was thinking about trying mealworms or whatever worms people are using but apparently they burrow? and can do as much damage to the T as crickets can, seems so much conflicting information out there.</blockquote>
