Big slots on lid and Missing parts

AveryG

it works, but if you have small crickets like pinheads, they can easily get through the slots in the lid. Also, mine was missing 2 parts when it arrived.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Crickets escape

Gem9999

1 year ago
After deep cleaning my room I could not understand why I was finding upwards around 20 not dusted crickets. When having like insects in your home it’s not uncommon for one or 2 to escape, witch is what I had expected to find after having my bearded dragon and upwards around a hundred crickets in and out of the keeper every 3 days and into a separate bin in my room to take him out and feed him it was to be expected that a few would hop out. But after finding 20+ and killing them in the span of a few hours I realized this was not from them jumping out of the bin. It was from the keeper I had them in. I even put the cricket keeper in a clear bin. And a few hours later had 2 crickets escape from the cricket keeper and into the bin with locks that I could see. Would not recommend this product if you don’t want to haft spend hours killing/discarding crickets in your room or house.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Cheap plastic

Could make something better than this; plastic is flimsy and crickets can escape

The concept is great, it's easy for our kids to use BUT crickets escape! We can't figure out how they are getting out but they do.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Questions

1 - 10 of 11 Questions
Sort by: Newest Answers

can i keep pinhead crickets in here or will they be small enough to escape?

  1. In the small cricket house they will likely escape. In the big one though they shouldn't be able to get to the top and get out.



Is this necessary, or can we just put them in the tank with our frog

  1. A cricket pen is handy to have. You need to gutload your insects before feeding them to any reptile/amphibian pet. This works well for gutloading crickets before feeding time. 



Would I need a small or large to hold about 250 crickets?

  1. Large.



I bought this product a long time ago it does not let me right a review. Anyway I bought it I was really excited to use it when I put about 10-20 crickets in I came back in a couple of minutes and they were everywhere! Is it supposed to let them out?

  1. In addition to what KristyJo23 said, also check the little clear hinged flaps that sit on top of each cricket tube, when the tube is inserted. It is hard for crickets to climb up there, but not impossible, so make sure that flap is sitting flat down on top of the tube. They're supposed to automatically wind up resting in that spot as soon as you insert the tube, so if they're not, it's possible you have a defective unit



Do crickets need a heat lamp or rock when it is cold?

  1. No. Crickets in nature like dark, cooler places. If you've ever heard one in the house, it's almost always in the basement or garage. Cheers!



I have an old one (size large) I don’t use anymore, can I keep any other animals in here such as amphibians, reptiles, etc? 

  1. no



Can either the small or large hold small dubia roaches?

  1. Yes. I have both and they work great for dubias. I prefer the large though because you can put the egg crate they send with the shipments.



How do you clean the cage since the tubes are blocking the bottom?

  1. The tubes come out you can put how ever many tubes in. 



How many crickets does the large cage hold?

  1. about 50 adult crickets.



how do the feeder tubes work?

  1. you keep them in the cage and when your ready to feed your reptile you pull them out and shake them into the cage
