Is there a minimum or maximum number of crickets to keep in the feeding enclosure at once?

I feed Pascal in a large cricket keeper. I put in about a dozen 1/4" - 3/8" crickets for him on my last feed attempt. He sat for a few minutes then tried to claw his way out towards his enclosure.

I'm not sure if that's because I had too many crickets in the enclosure with him or for unrelated reasons. He's had no problem with that at other times, although they were dusted.

Thoughts?

I found cricket feeding enclosure to be overwhelming for them (to my surprise at the time). I found the best way to offer bugs is to dust them in a cup and offer them just a few at a time in small batches. They are easier to track this way for both hunting and to make it easier to remove them after the meal is over. I usually feed either in the main tank or on the kitchen floor.

Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
