Ok guys and girls I'm gonna tell you the ups and downs of some different feeders!
Crickets
Pros
Ok some of the good things about crickets are that you get to watch your gecko go for a hunt, they are good for your gecko nutritionally.
Cons
Crickets can make noise, they can have a odor, they must be gut loaded, they can get loose in your house because of how fast they are.
Super worms
Pros
Super worms are bigger then some worm or are "supper'', insted of feeding many of the smaller feeders you can feed a cup of these, They can save you money because of how big they are, they have a cool name :main_laugh:
Butter worms
Pros
Butter worms stay in your feeding dish usually, They can help fatten up your gecko frog or lizard.
Cons
They can be harmful to your animal :behead: because they are very high in fat. They are expensive.
Meal worms
Pros
Meal worms are one of the most used feeders because they are so convient, You can put them in the fridge, You can get many of them in bulk and not have to pay outrageous prices at the store.
Cons
not much but the prices.
Roaches
Pros
You can breed them pretty easily, Most geckos well never turn them down, and there is not much odor at all.
Cons
They are a bit pricey almost a dollar a roach, Your roommate or wife or husband may not like the idea of roaches in your house!
Phoenix worms
Pros
Some of the good things about phionex worms are that they are very nutritious for your gecko, frog, turtle or lizard. Most animals will not turn down a nice old phoenix worm.
Cons
Some of the bad things are that they are very pricey and of course some animals will turn them down.
This was just a small guide about some of the pros and cons of the different feeders. The above is all my opinion of course. [/SIZE][/COLOR]
