Just to calm them down a little. Then place the cricket tub in a larger enclosure. Like that, if any do escape, they are easy to round up & return to the tub.I find black crickets are the easiest to handle, simply because they are not as manic as brown.Edited to add. I feed one appropriately sized cricket per week. If that is not eaten within 24 hours remove it & feed again in a weeks time. Uneaten live crickets stress out tarantulas. So always remove uneaten crickets.</blockquote>
