Where to buy a BIG Cricket Keeper?

[lisahbk210]

I want to start buying large quantities of crickets but I only have a large kricket keeper that only holds about 150 large crickets. Where can I buy something bigger like the ones they have at the petstores for their crickets, but not as big? Thank you

You could use a garbage bin with a lid and ventilation (holes and wire mesh screen stuff) or a plastic storage bin. Just remember the air =)
I use a 30g tote for my dubia

Our cricket bin is just one of those big plastic storage containers that you can buy at walmart. We put a bunch of tape about 3/4 of the way up the bin (crickets can't climb past the tape). We took a box cutter and cut a square...probably 6 inches by 6 inches out of the lid...and then duct taped some screen mesh over the hole. The whole process took about 10 minutes. Make sure to also get some egg crates in there. To get them out you can use a paper towel roll thing or one of the tubes from the cricket keeper.

I can't imagine the sound and smell of 500+ crickets in the house. How can you minimize the sound and smell?
