Crickets until what size?

Hi guys!

So my B/W is about 20 inches long right now and absolutely loves crickets. When I first tried the crickets I was concerned that they wouldn't be taken because of their small size, but he/she gobbles them down without a problem.

If you guys kept your gus eating crickets alongside their meats/fruits, was there a certain size when your gu would no longer accept crickets?

I have a dubia colony, but I wanted to feed him crickets as well to ease the consumption of my roach colony.

Thanks!

i would say feed them until he starts to ignore them! nero stopped taking bugs when she was about 15-17" but achilles is 30" and he still eats them occaisionally so now their just a treat!
