i don't feed crickets too often. worms are so much easier, though i know the crickets are probably better for her. I have a very low substrate level, so that she can get to the worms more easily. They, seem to eat the wood hide and branch that are in there, and she likes to try to pick them out of it.
I've been surprised that this whole set up hasn't turned out nasty, but she eats those worms before they can get gross and gross everything up. She only poops in the water dish, like i said, which is great, so i change that daily. The rest of it stays moist and humid, the temp stays pretty much the same since i keep a solid lid on it. She's thriving and always has a full belly! She's shed twice.
I have a couple pics of her in my gallery
oh i meant to say that when i do feed crickets i only put a few in at a time, because those nasty things will nasty up the place pretty fast, or just go off somewhere and die and make a mess. I think i don't put more than five in at a time, and that lasts two days. I've seen her catching and eating the worms. She LOVES it when they crawl into the extra water dish, that's lower than the "poop" one, because then they wiggle and are way easier to catch. I've never had to clean a cricket or a worm out of a water dish, unlike other animals i've had *lol*
