    Default A Healthy Cricket Bin

    I have been using a 5 gallon fish tank for my crickets. I need to switch to bins. Too many are escaping. Plus my frogs know where they are and every time i open the cage they try to "pull a fast one". Ive been trying to breed them for the longest time but nothing!

    I have a large kritter keeper for mine and have no problems. I only buy enough to last a week and then clean the whole thing and buy new though. I don't have enough animals eating crickets to need more than that.

    This is why I LOVE red runner roaches. Less stink, no noise and no jumping or climbing out.

    You are trying to breed the crickets or the frogs ?
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​
