In the old Beijing aristocratic TV series, there are often two big masters fighting crickets with cricket boxes. So what kind of food do crickets like to eat? How much is a cricket?
According to Mr. Wang, a cricket lover in Beijing, cricket is a small name of cricket, also known as Jianzhi, nocturnal warbler, general insect, autumn insect, cockfight, Jianzhi, Zhizhi, dihorn, zaojizi, sunwang, jellyfish. Cricket is omnivorous, eating various crops, saplings, vegetables, etc., such as cucumber, pumpkin, Mao Dou, corn, apple, etc. In addition, crickets grow better when they can feed high protein food, and soybeans and other things are better. If you want to raise it better, feed some fish, loach, shrimp and so on. The simplest thing is to feed fish feed, which has a fishy smell.
About cricket feeding:
Crickets have just been caught in the basin for feeding, because their food is very miscellaneous in the wild, they are now transferred to artificial feeding, and need to have a 'bowel cleaning'. It's the same as having to take a laxative for a day or two before entering the Department in winter. Its purpose is not only to reduce the soil impurities in the body, but also to remove the heat in the stomach, which is conducive to the future recuperation. The general practice of "clearing" is to first feed the mashed green beans, or boiled green beans without shells, or soaked green vegetable leaves. After a day or two of feeding these foods, the excrement can be seen. The excrement gradually changes from muddy water to pure food excrement, and then the normal food can be changed.
In early autumn, crickets are mainly fed with cereals, and sometimes they can also feed some fruits. At this stage, feeding is based on the insect's satiety, without worrying about others. The food must be soft. Do not feed rigid rice or overnight food. Every few days, we can sigh that some cooked shrimps, chestnuts, soybeans and other greasy foods such as chubby meat and winter melon kernel are always fed to chickens, ducks and pork, so as to prevent anorexia and insect oil spilling in the future.
In cricket's food, do not touch with wine, oil, salt, sauce and other items. If crickets touch these items, their harm is very great. The food should be placed regularly and quantitatively. The quantity of food should be more than enough, not less than enough. Generally, in early autumn, insects can eat three or four grains of porridge and rice sized food with large amount. If they place more food, they will stop eating after they are full, and will automatically do quantitative.
Appendix: according to the research, cricket is an ancient insect with a history of at least 140 million years. It is also the object of fighting in ancient and modern times.
Crickets are widely distributed in almost all parts of the country, with more provinces to the south of the Yellow River. It likes to live in the slopes, fields, heaps of rocks and grass where the soil is slightly wet.
