How fast will my feeder crickets grow?

Question

I need to buy 1000 of them. I don't want to buy them too small because it will take twice as many to fill them up, but I don't want them to get too big to be fed to my baby beardies

Answer 1

Here is a link that has a cricket size chart in scale.

- http://www.nyworms.com/cricketchart.htm

Ranging from the smallest to the biggest, the ages would be approximately :

- 1 day old

- 3 days old

- 6 days old

- 10 days old

- 15 days old

- 20 days old

- 25 days old

- over 30 days old

- over 40 days old

The average lifespan is only about 8 weeks. Hope this helps! =)

Answer 2

i don't know how fast they will grow because I buy mine a couple dozen at a time but make sure you clean the dead ones out every couple of days
