    you should probs use at least 2 of those containers for food regardless if you plan to keep them long or not. I have the exo terra cricket keeper always put food in there daily so they're nice and gutloaded. I don't feed live food to my beardy in his tank though, so another helpful tip is to put your calcium or supplement powder in a zip lock bag and gently tap the tubes in the bag to get the desired amount. "Shake and bake", feed where ever you desire. My beardy sits on the table outside in the sun with plenty of room for her to chase them.

    I just got a bearded dragon (baby) and I'm already so attached to Chester. What i'm not attached to ? His live food! How does everyone get so comfortable? I'm having a panic attack everytime I have to feed it ! (also, awesome video...this all the instruction i had of how to use the kricket keeper lol)

    The plastic flaps actually clip to the rail right above the one you clipped it to. That's why it didn't close all the way when you pulled the tubes out.

    • @JazzToTheTwo
      @JazzToTheTwo 6 років тому

      Hard to say-- If everything is closed securely and there is no damage to it, the crickets shouldn't be able to escape. Do you have the caps on the ends of the tubes? Does the top close and lock securely?

  • @goldpieceleo
    @goldpieceleo 6 років тому +2

    This is so wrong. If you wanna breed crickets you need tall big enclosure with a lot of ventilation with fine aluminum screen cover, a laying container and a nursery for cricket nymphs. Those holes on that Cricket Keeper lid will not stop a pinhead crickets from escaping. That is only okay for temporary enclosure for the crickets you'll about to feed to your animals. Just don't only provide them with water, feed them proper food.

    • @MakiaLink
      @MakiaLink 5 років тому +2

      He says in the video that this is to keep crickets for food, he never says it's to hold them for breeding. He reminds the viewers while he is putting Cricket Drink in the cage to also provide food for the crickets if you're keeping a supply of crickets for an extended period of time. A pinhead cricket shouldn't be able to jump that high, the only way is if they crawl up the outsides of the tubes which are removable. So as long as you don't keep the tubes in 24/7 and only put them in before you need to feed your animal(s) it should be fine.

    @macawlover8251 5 років тому

    I dont really like these keepers, with the tubes and stuff there is not much room for food and water, and well crickets to move, also you cant really pick an exact number of crickets you want if you just dump them in with the tubes, prefer to use a "reptile transport cage", that is like this but does not have the tubes, gives them lots more space

    • @sashimi0003
      @sashimi0003 5 років тому
