Dead crickets in a tuna can – in my fridge!

I have been feeding my turtles anything and everything that they are allowed to eat, trying to steer clear of the ‘live” stuff. So then I tried giving them greens and fruit and they looked at me really funny – pulled up their noses (or beaks? What do you call them mouths? Who knows).. and they hated me for like a day. So, I walked into Petsmart and on a shelf I saw a little tuna can labeled “healthy alternative to live prey” so I read further and it sounded like it was some pellets or make believe food that tastes like crickets – I figured perfect! They will have that crickety taste that they love without me having to bring home a bag of live crickets that may escape into the house and start a nest fest! Yes I know – eeeeu!

So happily, I open the can, very easy, very simple and whoohoaaa arrgghh there are a bunch of REAL dead crickets in the can all nicely smooshed together side by side.. ek het myself dood ge-grill! So I quickly threw 4 into the tank and those bloody greedy turtles went wild! They loved it – and now what?

The can says “store excess in the fridge”…. Like hello…..

So yes…… Dead crickets in a tuna can – in my fridge!
