My reptile store sells the green cricket gel in a small condiment deli container so customers don't have to buy the big jar. Most of the time I put in a slice or two of raw potato for food and moisture. Dry dog food kibble and a baby chicken waterer from a hardware store can be use if you have lots of big crickets. Empty toilet paper rolls or cardboard egg boxes are to give them places to hide. Cricket keepers are for a just a few insects, they should not be crowded.

My problem is after raising the pinheads, is finding a container they can't crawl out of. I need to look for new sterilite boxes .... I believe they have slippery sides. Right?
