[QUOTE="WolfSpider, post: 201303, member: 24627"] Crickets will eat anything....including each other. For a sling or a small juvie, the concern is molting, when the T is quite vulnerable. Crickets can feast on them. They will generally leave a molting adult alone. Pre molt and post molt are not issues since the T will just slap the cricket away. Finally, a dead cricket quickly gets moldy. The fetid conditions in a sling enclosure is hazardous. I suspect I have lost at least 3 slings in this manner. [/QUOTE]
