    Default Keeping crickets

    Can someone give the low down and how to keep crickets. I usually just buy my crickets every other day as its just been eaiser for my to do it this way (pet store is like 3 blockes away), but not that my son is almost 5 and we have all kinds of activities going on its just getting to be a pain to go that often. So I would like to only have to go on a cricket run once a week. So I need to know what kind of container to keep them in and what to feed them, things to avoid, water, etc. Any info at all you can give me would be awesome. I only need to keep about 20 med and 15 small for the week so nothing too crazy. Thanks.

    Get a creeter keeper or a tank with screen and add some egg cartons from the dinner and give them some water crystals gel for water and any cat food and scraps you have they will eat and gut loaded ready for your frogs

    So there isn't any fruit/veggie scraps that can harm the frogs if the crickets have eaten them?

    Ive heard that you should stay away from tomatoes as a food for your crickets. The best foods to use are sweet potatoes, oranges, dandelion, bokchoy, squash.

    I live 20 minutes away from the closest pet store and we live up in the mountains so it is a lot of gas money to run down there a lot! I buy crickets (50 at a time) and i but them in a exo terririum i had for my hermit crabs when i was little! I feed them carrots, celery, potatoes, oranges, bread, or technically anything that my family wont eat in the time it goes bad or if they are table scraps.
