URGENT! Help with killin crickets while beardie is sleeping

[Zach7]

Okay my beardie is sleeping and I looked in, we'll there are 2 crickets and one keeps jumping on him. I need to kill it or get it out without majorly disturbing him.

Just reach in and grab it. Even if you disturb him a little, it will be better than them pestering him all night. Sometimes it's better to feed out of a dish or in a different enclosure so that crickets can't hide. I know some who pull the back legs off of the crickets and put them in a dish so they can't climb or hop out.

I finally killed the two, damn pests. Now my buddy can sleep in peace until morning.

I do have a container I use, but I just started using it today. Some crickets were left over from first day I got him.

I dislike crickets a lot, the only reason I feed them is for variety. I like dubia roaches a lot better, they don't climb, bite, or smell! I also keep a few mealworms (for my leopard geckos, they are not good for beardies) and I just ordered some repti's for Spyro.

Good job! Those buggers will bite your poor beardie if you leave them in.
