I tried these with my reptiles to see if they would eat them. They looked at the dead cricket and looked at me like I was nuts...live food is far more stimulating and they enjoy the thrill of the hunt.

Pros: no noisy chirping

Cons: bottle of dead crickets

I tried it for the bearded dragon ... he didn't like em at all the live crickets with calcium dust are much better and I guess he just likes the chase. :) Since I already opened the container I decided to give them to my turtles and they loved em :)

Pros: Turtles loved em

Cons: Bearded Dragon hated em

they are great the last longer than canned, how ever my turtles think they are a little dry so i have to mix little wet food with them

Pros: last longer than canned

Cons: dry
