Slowing Down Crickets And Locusts??

[CROCadoodledoo]

Hey,
not sure if this will work for silent brown crickets and locusts but is it possible to slow them down??

I read somewhere not too long ago that you can put a sort of insect (sorry can't remember which one) in the fridge for about 45 minutes and it slows them down?

Well today I got some brown crickets and locusts. Croc has had the brown crickets before but they are abit to fast and jumpy for him and he's never had locusts before but already they are being a pain jumping around in their box everywhere so i'm dreading feeding them to Croc.


Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Ahh thankyou.

My cats WILL NOT leave the boxes alone, especially the locusts. Trying to get them out to chase lol

Pop some of the crix into a box, and put that into a different room. Then feed your dragon
Works every time !

No doubt but yes freezer for a few minutes knocks the spunkness from them, by the time they warm up and want to run around they are digested.

Haha thankyou for the replies! I didn't have a go last night because Croc doesn't live with me he lives at my boyfriends so I will have a go tonight!!
