| | | hey peoples,
is it true that if you have too many crickets in your encloser they can harm your bearded dragons.

| | | | FWIW, before lights out in the enclosure, refresh and replace your beardie's salad. Any rogue crickets would prefer to eat that than your beardie's eyes or vent... Also a form of "gut loading" your crickets!
Hope this helps!
Best,
