CGD is a complete diet. They don't have to be crickets, but mealworms aren't very nutritious, so should only be offered for variety, not as a staple. Consider other feeder insects--you may have to shop around. Phoenix worms, silk worms, isopods, and tropical roaches are commonly cultured as feeders. Dust crickets and mealworms with calcium if you do offer them, as they're high in phosphorus. Canned crickets may work if your crestie will eat them, but of course not all will.<a href="http://www.resumeminers.com/Letter-of-Recommendation.htm"> Winged Wolf</a> If you’re going to add fruit to the CGD, you should probably also add some insects to balance it.
