Message: <blockquote data-quote="NatashaG" data-source="post: 77954" data-attributes="member: 5331"><p>We bought a huge box of crickets a while back now, and it seems like the majority have ended up dead. We watered them and fed them every other day, and they never went without, so I am a bit confused by this. We didn't use a cricket pen, but had set up a large plastic container with plenty of air holes and egg boxes (it was also kept in a cupboard in the kitchen), but I'm now just buying a cricket pen (which looks like it will be easier to get them out anyway.) I wanted to try my little T with something new and was wondering if I bought the cricket pen, would Locusts be okay to live in it, or do they need something more specific? And does anyone know of any good live food sellers?</p></blockquote><p></p>
