Bert is about 9 inches now and still eating small crickets.

At my local pet store, they cost 10 cents per small cricket. I just bought 500 small crickets for $10.90 from Fluker's Farm.com. Which (obviously) would've cost me $50 at the pet store. I've saved a ton. The only negative is that I have to buy something to store them in because my current critter keeper certainly won't hold 500 crickets comfortably.

Yea that is a bummer. I think I am going to use Daisy's old 29 gallon for crickets.

You can use a plastic bin from walmart. They are really cheap. I have a 25 quart I use for 1000. They can't climb the walls either. I would just make sure its opaque and not transparent, in case you stress them out.

 

[DeenosMama]

Did you do something to it so that they can breath? Someone on a different thread told me I needed to cut a whole into the top and then hot glue aluminum screening so that they can breath.

 

[BeardieMommy3991]

Yep. Thats what ya do. I use mine without a lid, but I don't have anyone who can knock it over.

 

[brittani299]

Thats a good idea too. I think my 29 gallon should work too right? I feed daisy on the ground so I would just pull some crickets out of the cage and feed her, this eat I know she can catch the crickets.

She is 10 inches long today She is growing a lot since I have got her. I keep thinking that she is too skinny though. Does anyone else think that?

 

[DeenosMama]
