Okay trotting off to the pet store for crickets is getting a mite boring folks so I need a bit of a primer on cricket care. I've looked up a few sites and think I've got the basics down but just checking. I'm not interested in breeding or keeping large amounts of crickets. I just need a setup so I can buy a couple dozen or so at a time, keep them live and healthy for Sprocket the Crestie and cut down the trips to the pet store.
I need a small container (Sprocket eats the itty bitty crix) that they can't escape from but has air vents in it. I need either a piece of egg crate or toilet paper rolls or some such for them to hide in (what in heck is a cricket hiding from? oh yeah! the gecko! LOL). I need a piece of sponge or some such so they have a water source, as apparently standing water drowns the silly things. For food they can eat bits of bread, fruit, etc. (remove before it gets gross and mouldy). When Sprocket wants his crix, remove a few, dust gently with vitamin powder and there you go.
Anything I forgot?
