Ok fair enough... I get 100 large/size 4 for £15 so yeah... I'll probably give them a miss, sorry.

[Jazzy B Bunny]

Ok, I paid 13 for this bag How much would you pay?

[TheMetaphysicalNinja]

about £5-7 tbh, try out ebay, theroachfarm (they also have a website... but I forget which one it is) get 100 for £15 in tubs.

Yeah I normally use them, but thought I'd try through work for a change bad day lol

I keep myn in large plastic containers, and when i want to feed, i just pick them up and give them to my beardies. I never really have any problems, only ever had one escape.

i use cricket keepers. Best investment i ever made. they sit in the tubes which i then knock into an old cricket tub and dust before feeding, saves loads of time. Still get escapees but i bought some bug traps from somewhere (can't remember) and they just head towards them. I hide the traps in all the little slots under furniture.

Depends on how many crickets you need a week but I got a clear plastic container like this:

Roughneck Clear Storage Box / Bin / Tote | Rubbermaid

It is tall enough that they cannot jump out. Just drill some air holes on the top or cut a hole and glue some screen material onto it. Cheap and easy to clean. Works great and can just pick up the egg carton and tap it on a container so I can dump the crickets right in the vivs.

Another option is to ditch the crickets and get your self a roach colony....So much easier than crickets and locusts, and once your up and running, then you never have to buy live food again if you don't want to

I put them in the bath when I need to transfer them. I've never had one jump out. I'm sick of them escaping and killed I aload when their tub got to damp. I have some babies from when I tried to breed them and they're keep dying as well. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I've decided to breed roaches from now on.
