Hello guys,

I bought around 30 crickets last thursday(4th of July) and by now around 45% are dead.

Any tips to help me prolong their life? I recently move them away from the carrier where my baby pacman is because I thought being next to the heat pad could be causing this. I put in a different place that will be around room temp (74-78F) and I'm feeding them fluker's orange cube.

I'm also keeping them in a small carrier with the two black tubes. The crickets are medium sized because my frog is still a baby.

In your honest opinion, are night crawlers less of a hassle to feed? Crickets seem to be dying too fast, escaping too much, and adult ones can chirp their life away and you have to gut load.

Thanks
