Default getting crickets into a cricket keeper?

How do you get the crickets from a tub into a Kricket Keeper- (The large container that you can buy.)?

do you just tip the tub on its head inside?

this probably shouldnt be so hard, im just a pleb. Thanks!

also you dont need the egg carton, as this is the hole point of the cricket keeper, to make them go up the slots and they wont if there is an egg carton

put the crickets in the fridge for 5 minutes and it slows them down and stops them running away, transfer them over straight away then they warm back up again and go back to normal
