I keep crickets, probably the wrong way, but it works. I just keep them in a little plastic aquarium with lizard litter, and i fill up the top to a gain dish-washing liquid half-way with water (JUST THE TOP), and then put enough lizard litter in the top also to soak up most of the water... where they can drink, but not drown. i buy 20 crix a week for a dollar, and they'll live in the enclosure i provide for up to a month before they die out.
