looking at getting my first beardie, looked up lots of info but was wondering how to keep the crickets for them, also any other information would be helpful.

i cut a coke bottle in half put egg carton in and soom left over salad leaves a cotton wool ball soaked in water then the crickets.

then put some cloth over the top and use a elastic band so they dont get out

is there an easy way of handling them as little as possible as my mum will be looking after it when im out and dosent mind the beardie but not keen on crickets!!
also 888reptile sale the complete set up for a baby beardie,any chance someone could take a look and tell me if this contains all the basics(i do realise it will need bigger viv as it gets older)as there are so many sites that tell you different stuff it gets really confusing!!!!!!!!!!!
