Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is the difference between Mini Can O' Crickets and Can O' Crickets?
Ans: Mini Can O' Crickets contains mini-sized crickets for most small lizards, turtles, fish, and birds, while Can O' Crickets contains adult-sized crickets. The product details list over 200 crickets in each mini can, compared with 60 crickets in the adult-size can.
Q2: Can I feed Mini Can O' Crickets to a young lizard?
Ans: The mini-sized crickets are ideal for most small lizards, and the directions for this do not include the hatchling restriction listed for adult-sized crickets. Spoon out an amount suited to your lizard's size, and ask your veterinarian if you are unsure.
Q3: How many crickets are in a can?
Ans: Product details state that each 1.2-ounce can contains over 200 small crickets. The mini crickets are farm-raised and cooked in the can with their natural juices, and the exact count may vary slightly from can to can.
Q4: How do I feed mini crickets to a water turtle?
Ans: For water turtles, feed as much as they can consume in 5 minutes, then net out and discard any uneaten food. Clearing leftovers keeps old crickets out of the water, and the rest of the opened can should be refrigerated.
Q5: How long can mini crickets stay in my lizard's enclosure?
Ans: For lizards, snakes, and amphibians, discard any uneaten food after 24 hours. Offer an appropriate amount for your animal's size to reduce leftover crickets, and return the rest of the opened can to the refrigerator after each feeding.
