Feeder variety and the importance of gut loading.

Did you know that some people just feed feeder crickets? Crickets are a great low-cost feeder, but variety is extremely important.

Variety can be problematic because most feeder providers have a narrow menu. Buying your bugs from multiple sources can be a pain. Especially paying shipping multiple times or paying the higher cost of local sellers.
