    Crickets are experts at escaping, they will get out no matter what. Once you change to large crix your problem will be over as they are lazy and useless jumpers.

    fixed the issue. I put temporary suran wrap at the holes up top. Now none can leave,. For a more robust perm solution I will either use electrical tape or some expanding foam stuff.

    I have used Bills small glass bowl trick for a long time now with my WTF's
    And it works great.

    But it too some time for the frog to learn to go from the top of the bowl.
    I found a colored glass bowl and that solved that problem.

    It was kinda funny to watch the frog figure it out the hard way LOL

    I keep my crickets in an old 10 gallon tank with a metal mesh lid on top. No escapes there since they can't climb the glass. With the exo-tera tank if you aren't using the holes in the back for anything close the openings, there is a little slider that covers the holes. Then cover them with a strong tape, like packing tape to seal it up. I use the glass bowl trick too but occasionally the frogs get a little nuts and there are crickets being flung all over the place.

    How do you keep them from climbing the silicone beads in the corners?

    They never get up very far without falling.
