Keep Your Crickers Clean

[AKFROG]

I keep FROG's crickets in a plastic container with holes punched in the lid for ventilation. I clean the container out every day. I take the container with the top loosely laying on top of the container and slide it into a freezer bag. I dump the crickets into the freezer bag. I carefully pull out the container and lid and seal the bag. I toss the old romaine lettuce , carrots, sweet potato and apple in the garbage. I rinse out the container in hot water then dry it with toilet tissue. I put in a piece of paper towel and then add the vegtables and fruit. I add a small amout of Gut Load Cricket and Insect Food also. Next I carefully seperate the crickets in the freezer bag and any feces and food. I then carefully put the crickets back into the clean container. I toss the contents of the bag in the garbage. Certainly they will sick if you don't clean them every day. Use your head people. It's late here, I mispelled Cricket in the title.

I find if you tilt the container slightly all the dead/poo will stay in the corner of the tub, and the live ones will crawl up and away. Just a quick tip.

Also it should be stink instead of sick. I needed to edit it better. I like to clean the container really good..

Theres no reason to clean them daily. I clean mine monthly and they do just fine, just be sure to remove uneaten fresh foods before they go bad.

Then you must have a different species of cricket. If you don't clean these every day they stink.
