They eat live insects n other small critter's like frogs, lizards, n eat fruit, things like berrys, sweet pineapples, bananas, i have even giving them raw mince, but ive always given them live food..it's more fun to watch them catch there food n rip the sh...t out of it.

King crickets are related to the wetas from NZ and are quite common in the hinterland in SE QLD. Normally seen on wet nights but as the last photo shows..
