Gut loading crickets and meal worms

Seeing something is so much easier to understand . We have put a few pictures on the page to
show you how we gut load the feeder insects before feeding them to our animals . And we used
the two most commonly avaliable insects as our subjects. you can use any type of container as
long as it has smoth sides and is deep enough to keep them from escaping .
One example of gut loading using a 16 0z deli cup and 1/8 inch of a dry gut load for crickets.
Keep the crickets in the deli cup 24 hours .A small cube of carrot could be added  to supply the
crickets with moisture.
Same thig again except the layer of gut load is 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick when we gutload meal worms
A small cube of carrot could be added to supply moisture to the mealworms.
