Keeping crickets….

[ryanm7277]

So I had ordered 250 pinhead crickets, not thinking, realizing or know how many I actually needed or what size, I have now order adult crickets, is it bad to house them together? Will the big ones eat the pinheads ones? Will the pinheads ever get to adult size? I have two extra large critter keepers, half roughly or the pinheads in each and just got 60 large should I give them their own home? I also have a smaller cricket keeper I could throw the large ones in giving them their own home if necessary.

I would keep them separate. An extra container is not expensive (I actually used a food storage box, I made holes in it for air exchange) and it will not take that much space. I think they will grow. Now and again I was finding a white one, freshly molted?
