crickets running around tank

[gundam009283]

do you guys normally just let crickets running around the tank when feeding or feed it one by one? apparently some crickets lays whole bunch eggs before they go down my pac's stomach (i do take them out from the tank after an hour if they are still alive). now the tank have whole bunch pinhead running around...
anyone get some suggestion?

I had the same thing happen and since I have two tanks for Grif I just left them in his tank and moved him bac into his 10 gallon long. I startec feeding and watering the crickets to raise as food for my Pac. Only thing I can tell you is to clean your Pacs home and put new substrate in if you have no way to collect the little guys and raise them.

i guess i'll have to start hand feed him or pull off the crickets' back leg so it's easier for him to catch...seen some video online where they feed mix of turtle food and fish food mush rolled into ball shape. gonna try that after he finish this batch
btw... i am prob gonna save part of that substrate into a 5 gal to raise them since there's no way i can pick out all of them.

Lol! That pretty much what I thought. So I decidee to raise them I have well over 100 in the other terrarium. A lot of them have now grown to the size of the small ones you buy at the pet store and some are alittle bigger than that.
