I think the disease is going around european cricket farms and affects only the brown crickets( I don't know the scientific name ) . The local reptile specialist where I get my crickets said he was importing his from America as the european type were affected by this thing so I don't think its affecting the American type of brown crickets. It only affects that particular type of cricket and isn't harmful to the lizards I've been told but thats about all I know on the subject.
Also.....when I last bought some Crickets (which were American imported ones) there were these little grub things in the same tub as the crickets, at first I thought they were mealworms which had got mixed in with the crickets but since I bought some mealworms its apparent that they are not the same thing. The thing is, I put some in for my little leopard gecko, and today I noticed that these things have been busy burrowing into the cork bark hide in her cage, leaving little piles of cork dust.........what are they, woodworms or something?, don't want those things getting loose in the house.
