Any suggestions on how to keep crickets alive longer? I buy 250 at a time from premium crickets and they are kept in a 10 gallon tank wrapped in black aquarium back ground. They always have carrots in with them for food and hydration
Good hydration helps, i cut the bottom out of 20 oz water bottles and fill them full of cotton balls so the crickets don't drown. Keeping them clean helps a little as well.
Banded crickets live a bit longer and aren't as loud if you can get them.
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
