They feed on every kind of cricket that is big enough. The black ones are as good as the brown ones. It´s just about the size and the body shape.
When you are planing to breed crickets on your own than buy "silent crickets" they barley make any sound at all and are a little slower than the normal crickets. I don´t know the latin name but they are often sold as silent crickets in shops at least here they do.
When you have several hundret adult crickets in your house you will go crazy from the sound!
