I agree and mealworms and roaches are very easy to breed-crickets on the other hand stink and I could never get them breed very easily and consistantlycoura;2404689; said:There is no way around. If your using freze dried or canned first of your lossing alot of nutrients, no gutload and no garanté they have been raised in healty condicions. Much likely your animals wont even acept it. You absolutley need live crickets, mealworms, roaches,...etc in order to have one of thouse animals, plain simple as that

They reek though, don't they? I hate the ones in my store....soooo nasty
Agreed crickets smell pretty bad. I think someone here breeds their crickets in their garage. I always have a hard time keeping the crickets in the container. It's not a good thing when the girlfriend finds a cricket in the bathroom!
Also, I tried feeding a freeze dried cricket to one of my leopard geckos once, not such a good thing. They just bit it in half and made a huge mess. So I fed the rest of the dried crickets to my oscar.
By mossy tailed gecko, do you mean uroplatus sikorae?
They're very delicate geckos and where with other animals you could- I suppose- entice them to eat something dead, you certainly can't have your hands in their enclosure, especially while they're eating (since they're nocturnal, would you want to do that in the middle of the night anyway?) it would just cause them too much stress.
