Crickets under substrate...

[gini]

I noticed today a cricket going under the paper towel I use for substrate... I figure that can't be good. Any ideas on how to keep them out of there, besides taping it down.

I had the same problem -- crix hiding under the ppr towels I'm using for substrate -- what I did was go out and get a big sterilite container, like an 18 gallon tupperware and start feeding her in that. No more stray crix in the viv

YUP! I agree with the above post....Feed him in a seperate container..no more sneaky crickets in his tank. :mrgreen:
Another benefit to that is ..sneaky crickets who hide really well in the tank and come out at night while your beardie is sleeping...WILL munch and bite on your beardie....soooooo this way you wont have that problem.

Yup use a separate container or you can use the sticky shelf liner paper that is non toxic!! Good luck....

Thanks everyone. I will try it this evening in a different container and clean out the paper towel to check for lost crickets... Guess I should have thought of that one earlier... Gini

I have 4 critters that I have to feed on a daily basis...I also have thousands of superworms that I feed, so I figured why not include them on here also...lol
