I've had Zeke since November and have never had this problem before. Am I doing something wrong?
I buy 40 large crickets from the petstore about once a week. I put them in my cricket keeper when i get home and give them cricket food to eat. (the orange cube stuff, it's supposed to be both food and water for them) Then usually every other day I give Zeke about 10 crickets to eat. This has worked out just fine. There are usually a few dead on the bottom, but no big deal. Lately, about two days after i get them, at least half (sometimes more) of the crickets are dead in the bottom of the cricket keeper. It's frustrating because i'm wasting money if all the crickets are dying, as well as time because I have to go back to the store more often. Is there anything I should do differently?
