What do crickets eat?

Answer 1

Crickets are omnivores, meaning will eat anything from smaller beetles to grass and crops. Also, if you are breeding crickets, it is suggested to feed them carrots, strawberries, cucumbers, and fruit loops (cereal) along with a damp sponge.

Crickets are in fact Omnivores, but will generally stay to the fruit, veggie, and greens diet when possible. They will not normally turn on other crickets or bugs or meat sources unless they have to. Crickets outdoors eat a slightly different diet then the store bought crickets. A simple observation will show you the outdoor crickets come in more varieties that are hardy/tougher. The store crickets you normally feed to your reptiles/fish/etc will not be picky eaters, but they are not as hardy as the ones that have been living outdoors for generations. Outdoor crickets will eat plants, molds, bugs, pretty much what they can digest when they are hungry depending on the breed.

Crickets raised in the home for pet consumption can be fed a wide variety of staples that will, in turn, befit said pet. If your feeding a turtle, put some turtle food in the crickets feed dish. Anoles, feed the cricket's some anole food, and so forth. Crickets can handle most hard, soft, and flake foods. Crickets also need plenty of water, either in a shallow bowl, sponge, etc, something they wont drown in. They will eat most fleshy, moist fruits and vegetables, provided the tough skin has been removed. Most seeds will go untouched. They also like sprouts, cricket feed, cat/dog wet/dry food, clover, and the occasional hand-full of outdoor grasses/weeds.
