I accidentally dropped a box of giant mealworms a few years back and worst bit was behind the spider shelf against the skirting board I thought I got them all but every now and then there was an escapee happily walking around the bedroom as a sh!t load had gotten in the gap of the carpet and skirting board.

I transfer mine from the cricket tub to the tub I keep them in via the bath just in case. I know what it's like to have a few escaped crickets and would hate to have a whole box escape lol

But an easy solution followed......

I suddenly noticed my 2 beardies goin mad at seeing all these crickets, so I opened the doors and let them do what they do best, christmas had come early they must of thought!!

Once they had had their fill they hopped back into the viv for a spot of basking, bloated from dinner they veged out under the lamp, so with them locked back in their viv I let the cats in to finish the job!!

When you text me to tell me I was peeing myself

Yep, my daughter decided she was going to help me feed mine and dropped the box all over my bed. So I was diving all over my bed trying to get most of them back in the box. I was not happy, I kept finding crickets all round the house for weeks afterwards.
