I suppose it's possible. What conditions do your crickets live in? Are you cleaning their tank regularly?

Do you have any kind of substrate? I used wood chips (the kind used for a guinea pig, etc.) and changed the substrate out once or twice a week, cleaning out any dead crickets with it. I found that helped keep the smell down quite a bit.

I found that it makes the tank quite a bit easier to clean because you can just shake out the egg crates/tubes, remove the old wood chips (and waste with it) and put down new chips. The smell wasn't bad at all with that system. I'm sure there are lots of good alternatives but that's how I did it and it worked for me.

Elvis doesn't eat crickets anymore....he is a turd machine. He craps like a dog and it smells like death.

Crickets (when I did keep them) smelled like a sack full of festered butt holes. And that's one of the big reasons why I don't fool with them anymore.

Anyway, since Elvis only eats dubia roaches, and his poop still smells like death, my answer is gonna be no.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
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!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
