hi everyone
I'm looking for everyone's tips and tricks on transferring my live feed from container to container, without them all escaping ?
Any tips are muchly appreciated, thanks

What insects are you using?

I know that I have issues feeding with crickets if I don't crack their back legs. I know it sounds horrible, but they get eaten anyway, and my girl just cannot catch them if I don't do this. Then, she gets frustrated and gives up. I only crack a few at a time. If you're using crickets, do you use a cricket keeper? NatGeo makes a great one that holds a ton of them. I have only have a couple escapees in months.

I use a BugBlaster http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Bug-Buster-Vacuum-Spider-Catcher-with-FREE-9V-battery-/252505608929?hash=item3aca81d2e1:g
works a treat with crickets , they get sucked up super quick , I simply deposit them emass in a 30L tub and suck them up , then turn it off and deposit them 50 to 60 at a time in the keeper tubs .

I am using Locusts, they don't scare me, I just hate the jumping ??? I got three small boxes yesterday and only had 1 escapee so I guess that's progress ?
I have been looking at getting a cricket keeper, I'll give that a go. Thanks
