My 3 year old son knocked over my cricket keeper that we made out of a big plastic bin, luckily not to many got out, but I had a little egg laying box in their with potting soil which I should have taken one awhile ago..but it got knocked over and mixed with the water crystals...made a nice mess ??

So I'm trying to go through all this dirt, and pull out these tiny crickets and theirs these strange tiny super fast bugs inside that look like little caterpillars? Their TINY like... I can barely pick them up their so tiny.

Can they hurt the crickets? Will the crickets eat them?! It's been very warm the past two weeks were we live so I'm worried it's some pest

leave them where you found them , they help clean up.

When they get bigger , about 3/4 inch long , they are a great treat for your beardies.

Their definitely those little cleaner bugs.. I'm just wondering how they got in there as we have never bought or received any better or larva. Guess we got lucky.. theirs about 15 that I can see in there

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 💔
