Transferring Crickets?

Hi,
We have our first clutch of eggs in the incubator, which are due to hatch in the not-too-distant future. One thing that is really stumping me is, how do we transfer the crickets from their container (rubbermaid or aquarium) to the vivs in order to feed the babies? :oops: Is it also alright to feed the babies in their enclosure, or do you have to isolate them?
Many thanks!

I have a little rubbermaid canister (or a cup, or anything tall and slick enough that they can't climb out) that I transfer crickets in. I keep some toilet paper rolls in my cricket bin, and it's very easy to shake the crickets out of the TP roll into the cup, and then dump them into the viv or feeding bin. I hardly ever lose any crickets in the transfer process.

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?
