Re: cannibalism?
Just talking about the process freaks me out.

Re: cannibalism?
The main problem with that is I could never kill the fish myself, I love all animals and purposely killing a fish would not be something I could do.

Re: cannibalism?
I feel the same way. I feel bad feeding crickets to things. it would be ten times worse if i were feeding a little goldfish.

Re: cannibalism?
I don't really care about bugs like crickets as much because I use to have tree frogs and the crickets were just put in the tank and he ate them when he wanted to. I never really had to watch it happen. The fish would be a different story though, I would rather buy them dead and feed them but I would also like to know they were not sick before feeding them to my crabs so I just won't give them that treat. My kids have gold fish right now so if they die then maybe I will give them to the crabs. I won't even go fishing because I hate that they first get the hook stuck in their lip then you let them die and watch it if you are going to eat it. I don't eat seafood either. I do eat meat but not seafood.

Re: cannibalism?
Yeah, it would make me feel bad too. I'm scared of crickets, so I don't know how I'm going to feed them to my gecko when I get him. Oh well, I'll try.

Re: cannibalism?
Crickets are harmless. they're kinda cute too you'll get over the fear when you feed them to your gecko. then you'll feel bad about feeding them to the gecko.lol

Re: cannibalism?
Haha. I tried to feed a cricket to the water dragon, but I freaked out. Mealworms and Superworms are so much easier to feed him.

Re: cannibalism?
there is actually a nation wide mealworm shortage here. if you can breed them yourself it would be a wonderful investment. you won't have to run out to the store and pay $4 for 30 worms. the only thing is you'd have to mate beetles because mealworms are beetle babies. theres actually a cricket breeder too. it would save you tons of time and money!

Re: cannibalism?
Wow. Crickets are only 10 cents here. Glad for that anyway. Superworms are like 30 cents... so that kinda sucks.
