Cat tails Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 I bought a box of crickets at the pet store. The ladies LOOOOOVE them! Get really hyper and cheeky and the crickets give them a nice hop around the garden. Pro for me: I die laughing at three chickens that are hopping after a rogue cricket that is making a fast get away! The gerbil boys like them too, although they are less agile at chasing after them. I think one might have gotten away and is now living with the gerbils. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullethunter Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 I've wondered about them before when I've been buying mealworms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted August 21, 2015 Author Share Posted August 21, 2015 Crickets are a million times more fun! Had mealworms before too, but they just wolf those down. Crickets get them running! You do have to give them a little head start though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Mine have been chasing grasshoppers around the garden this summer; never known there to be so many!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted August 23, 2015 Author Share Posted August 23, 2015 They had a real conundrum today. They wanted to chase the crickets, but Red, neighbours cat, was hanging around too. Luckily he decided to chase a cricket himself. (Less successful than the chickens... ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
