I bought a pack of 24 crickets-to-go at petsmart yesterday and put them all in the tall metal container, I added some dry milk, rolled oats, carrots and apples. I let them chill in there and a saw some eat the food. But, they all look like they're more comfortable hanging around the egg carton. Now, I don't see them eating at all. I'm trying hard to gutload these guys so I can feed them to the gecko I got last night. Some of the crickets have already died. I also bought some supeworms, too. I feed them an apple and a carrot, they currently reside in a little sterlite container. Two have died already, but I'm covering them up in rolled oates so they can eat and burrow. I have no clue about taking care of them. I just want them to eat so my gecko friend can get all the nutrients he needs.
