Separate feeding tank question

[Erinlam]

Not sure if this should be in this board or the enclosure??
Several months ago when we upgraded Emerson's tank we saved the smaller one to use as a feeding tank. My question is, what should I use on the bottom? We are currently using the carpet from when this was his enclosure, but the crickets are constantly finding their way underneath it. I feel like I've tried everything to make sure they can't, but these little jerks seem to always find a way! If we take it out he just slides around and can't catch anything. Any ideas or suggestions?

Maybe some shelf liner that has a bit of grip to it. You could cut it to size and even tape it down and it would be easy to remove/replace/clean as needed.

I'd just line with paper toweling.

The way I do it is get a piece of paper towel so he can grip and just tape around the edges. And just change it out every week . Works like a charm .

I use cork that I glued down with Emlers glue (Not toxic), gives plenty of traction for chasing those pesky bugs down, lol!
