Do crickets need anything in special to house them?

I intend to just put the in a mesh top fish tank, Will that be ok?

Do they need a substrate or anything ?

Thanks

Nick

mesh top?? they might get out!! just give them food, like apple, carrot etc, you could use kitchen roll, sawdust, anything really, and give them something to hide and climb on, eg an egg tray..

Cheers Jayke.

I have put some large egg trays in there, The mesh top if very fine so should be ok.

Thanks

you can get kricket keepers ya no mate, can get them in most pet shops

Yeah i seen them but i had the fish tank lying round and thought i'd use that, Plus a can get a lot my crixs in it.

Nick

ye spose so, might aswell use somethin if ya already got it

Can i just ask, You know the little bugs you get in with crixs (Can't remember their name) Are the ok to feed to gecko's?

Nick

they can crawl up the silicone seals. i always used a 5 gallon bucket. low tech and works perfectly. easy to clean etc.....

Yeah i have noticed that, They are all conragated in the corners were the silcone is

As long they can't get out then thats ok.

i suppose ya could, never done it meself like but if they'll eat them then i cant se a prob with it, hand feed them to ya gecks tho cos they may start to nibble at ya gecks toes etc if left uneatin in the viv.
