Plastic Rubbermaid tubs are great for keeping large numbers of crickets. The only problem with tubs is ventilation; humidity kills crickets (and makes them smell worse :shock: ).
I cut out most of the top of the tub and duct taped it in with screen. (I tried super glue but the inside edge of the tub was too uneven.)
I like the large critter keepers because they are too tall for crickets to get out and they have a well ventilated cover with a hatch you can open to put in food. I use 4 of them because I can put crickets from one to another while I clean them. They are small so they are easy to clean. I clean my bins every other day, so no smell and easy to care for.
I was afraid if I used a big bin with screen taped in, that my cats would open that up to easy.
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!
