Cricket keeping?
Will my formica subsericea eat camel crickets? I found one and I think I might find some more, so any tips on keeping camel crickets or if my ants will eat them is appreciated.

Re: Cricket keeping?
If it is wild caught, I would quartertine it if it is from the wild. Crickets are more difficult to keep than superworms, but if you would like to raise them, use the link below! Please note that cricket farming(breeding) needs a heating pad or incubator. This can be difficult, but if you want an easier way with no incubated, read my next note. Also, they will eat these… or the AC handbook doesn’t say other wise.

To raise superworms, it is not very hard and requires little attention. The only downside is if you have a species that will only eat live prey, these have a protective exoskeleton but soft bellies. Link to raise is below

Good luck with the ants!
And crickets, of course
