Hi, my daughter got a bearded dragon for her bday. Since he/she eats 50 or so a day we ordered 1000. By the time they were all dead and eaten I realized something. A lot of these plastic storage containers have a recessed channel around the outside. Guess where all the dead ones were? I think the little crickets get in the channel and can't get out due to how slippery it is. The feeder tub is the same way and the crickets head for it and can't get out. I may fill the channel with sand and order 250 to see if I fair better. Otherwise I'm switching to dubai roaches and going to test the crickets in a can dusted white with calcium. He'll eat just about any thing if it's small and white like the dusted crickets. Just wanted to share my cricket experience as a newb. This forum has been tons of help getting us going , thanks to all of you. Seems to be a happy little camper
