Colossal Crickets

[Chris R. Jones (Sirunus)]

Hi everyone,

I got a new batch of crickets yesterday, and in the five months of collecting extra-large sized crcikets, I've never seen crickets that are as monstrous as these. Some of the crickets are almost the size of my thumb! They're like, almost twice the size of your average cricket. I'd say the biggest were about 3-5cm long. Are they safe to feed to my four inch juvenile Tarantula? would you like to see pics? (This is compared with a 1p coin).









Thanks,

Chris

I wouldn't give them anything bigger than their abdomens.

You could always 'prekill' to be on the safe side.
