Local Crickets

I have a friend that owns a brown (fishing) cricket farm so I can get them cheap. Is it OK to use these if they are not too big and I gut load them?

i wouldn't know one cricket from another, but I really don't think there would be that much difference. gut load em and keep 'em to the right size for your beardie - how old is your guy?

you need to make sure they are soft bodied, and it depends on what they are feeding to them and what they are on at least that's what I've heard.. but the browns should be the soft bodied..

I compared them to the crickets they sell at Petco and they look the same but bigger. I think they will work when my "to be purchased and named later" dragon comes home with me and gets bigger.
