Black cricket dilemma

Why?

By using the word "purpose" you are "begging the question" a logical fallacy / dishonest argument. You need to justify why it is their "purpose" to make your point.

Me thinks you are taking this way too seriously & need to lighten up a bit.

Hey that's naughty, but yes I can see the funny side of doing it.

Maybe just chuck them through her bedroom window, as she tends to have it open on warm nights.

I don't see that at all, the purpose of the crickets is to be part of the food chain for another species.

Wouldn't you also say that wildebeest are the same,but on a bigger scale? All they seem to do is run frantically for miles,especially across crocodile infested rivers. It's as if they're saying "come and get me i'm beef on legs".

Does the pet shop have a returns policy? Just sayin'

But all i'd be doing is returning them knowing that they'd be sold for reptile food. Maybe I could take them to the RSPCA animal sanctuary
https://hyndburn.realtd.co.uk/local-services/rspca-lancashire-east/ which is about half a mile from Accy Stanley's football ground.

Good idea. Our local animal sanctuary accepts food donations as well.

I bought some crickets to feed a gecko once. I used to enjoy watching them and listen to them chirp at night. They used to remind me of my early childhood in Africa. They were better than the gecko, because that spent all its time under a false rock. It did not seem to get through the crickets very quickly. I don't think geckos eat much.

Years later I bought what I thought were crickets, but I think they were locusts. Locusts don't chirp.

Was kind of teasing, but it did come across a bit serious :-)

I know it's just not cricket going off topic but how did you do that blue arrow thingy?

Reminds me of hitchhiker's guide galaxy when the cow introduces themselves to zaffod and recommends different parts of itself they should eat.

Edit: typo. Stupid soft keyboard.

Bloomin' 'eck Accy, you've already confessed to owning a yapping dog which might be annoying your neighbours and now you're thinking of setting up a small zoo in your flat?

It's make or break time for the crickets. I've had them in their box now for 3 days. The pet shop assistant said they'd be ok for food and water for about 4 days. I think i'm going to set them free tonight. Yes,i know they might not survive, but it's better than a certain death in some lizard's gob! I must say i'll miss 'em! I've got used these last 3 days to their calming chirping sound,but if I don't let them go they'll probably die in that box. Anyway, they won't pose a problem to the local insect like...unlike this critter!!
