Our eggs come in a recycled plastic container, or foam, so I never have extra cardboard cartons to use for the crickets and the ones they ship with are not enough. Is there someplace to buy them?
And, why do I have so many dang dead crickets? We got an order of 1000 on Tuesday. Today is Friday. The lizards probably ate about 150 Tuesday, 225 Wednesday, 225 Thursday, and 150 today. So, right now, I am almost out of live crickets, but there are at least 250 dead crickets in the container. I can't get the kids to clean it every day and I don't have time with my work schedule. They are being fed cricket food from reptilefood.com and we have a chick waterer. They have egg crates, plenty of ventilation, and the temps are good. If I buy 2000 at a time, we still go through them in a week because of the die offs.
