Every month, we're giving away a year supply of free feeder insects.
And the rules are simple:
Post a picture of your amazing pet, their kooky personalities, their adventurous habitats or anything else pet related (important: the month that your picture is posted, is the monthly contest that you are eligible to win). But how do I do this? Click the Start a Topic button in the upper right hand corner. Upload your picture, and give it the title Cricket Contest.
Collect the most Critter Gold for the month (read below to find out more information on Critter Gold)
And Boom! You just won a year supply of FREE crickets
What is Critter Gold and how do I collect it?
Critter Gold is a reward system (see here). Every community member has the opportunity to reward interesting posts with Critter Gold. If you want to win a year supply of free crickets, post an interesting picture of your pet or habitat so that community members will reward your post with gold.
And anytime you see amazing animals, interesting habitats, or anything else that strikes your fancy, be sure to reward that post with Critter Gold as well.
Announcing the Winners!
The winner will be announced within 48 hours by the end of each month.
The winner will be awarded a coupon code for 500 free crickets. This coupon code will be honored for 12 purchases. Winners may also use these coupons to purchase other feeders like superworms, dubia roaches, and black soldier fly larva.
Winners may continue posting pictures, topics, and questions. But they are not eligible to win until 12 months since they won.
And we will keep a running list of the winning posts listed here.

[post_content] => The Critter Forum is a place where new and experienced pet owners can post pictures, habitat guides, questions, and tips about all things related to pets. We all want the same thing: good health and happiness for our pets. So let's keep this place friendly, constructive, and supportive by following some basic rules:
We encourage you to post these pet related things: pictures, habitats, questions, and anything else pet related.
The Critter Forum is for all ages. Absolutely no adult content. Users will be banned and reported.
Be kind. Everyone here wants to learn, and become better care givers for their pets. Help others by sharing tips, knowledge, products, and tutorial videos.
Be respectful of other people’s opinions and ideas. It’s okay to disagree and have different opinions, but present your case tactfully. Everyone here wants the same thing: good health and happiness for their pet.
No brigading or trolling. Everyone wants to be an amazing pet-parent. Rude remarks, trolling, and brigading doesn't encourage this, and discourages everyone from participating and learning.
All posts must be relevant to the selected category. For example, don’t discuss corn snakes on the bearded dragon category.
All threads that are nothing but a ‘test’ or an ‘ad’ will be deleted.
If you share irrelevant links, your comment or post will be deleted. If the links are relevant to the thread, that’s fine. Please use your best judgment here.
Please don’t use affiliate links in this forum. When you externally link, do it because you want to help someone, not because you see a quick opportunity to make some cash.
Try to add value when you post. Don’t just type something along the lines of “What they said.”
Use proper grammar to the best of your ability. We understand that English may not be everyone’s main language, but make an attempt. You won’t get in trouble for a misplaced comma or for typos, but it would help everyone if you could make sure everyone understands your message.

She’s never shy about stuffing her face in front of anyone. He has to investigate everything before he fills his tummy. I rarely see him eat his stash but this was worth the wait

[post_content] => This is Gus (aka Giuseppe), my male albino horned frog. I've had him for over 12 years now, since he was the size of a half dollar. He's outlived many of my other animals and even the local pet store I bought him from!
I wish I could say he was sweet, but he's not. Notoriously grumpy, he's mastered the art of lunging at me when I least expect it. I think he enjoys giving me a heart attack. Over the years, he's mellowed out and finally tolerates me holding him, but our friendship is mostly on a "look, don't touch" basis.
Naturally, he enjoys crickets. Lots of them. With a year's supply, he might even smile :)
I hope you've enjoyed meeting Gus as much as I've enjoyed keeping him!

[post_content] => You need to clean your corn snake's habitat once a week. Cleaning cages is one of the least enjoyable moments regarding pet care. However, your corn snake will love you much more if you help keep his habitat sanitary. A filthy habitat can lead to Blister Disease, which can lead to infections.
