[QUOTE="Phil, post: 169712, member: 4151"] I often feed crickets vegetable matter (usually from salad bags) which do contain shredded carrots. I usually run them under water so there is some moisture as well but as I have so many spiders, it is verybrare that I have crickets longer than a few days anyway as they all get chomped. Never noticed any issues with spiders being fed on crickets that have eaten carrots. In fact, I recall tiny crickets turning orange, and that also happening with abdomen on some slings. Real proof of you are what you eat. I don't have any mantis so can't comment on the effect of carrots. I dont think [USER=27444]@Arachnoclown[/USER] is the biggest fan of crickets from what I can remember but I am sure he will pick this up and let us know his thoughts as he is a good knowledgable guy :) [/QUOTE]
