i want to order one online but have only saw one on timberlines website without a price listing and im assuming theyre expensive.does anyone know where one can be purchased?im tired of running to the petstore 3 times a week for feeders...and a ten gallon tank isnt large enough to contain a decent amount without them being a pain and eating eachother along with smelling bad

I just bought a Cricket Keeper from the pet store that I like, and it cost me $10. I like it because there are 2 removable tubes that the crickets go inside, and you just tap them inside the tank, and you NEVER have to touch a cricket.

i bought one and noticed that someone crickets still manage to get out through those sideholes even when i put the covers on.it was a waste.i dont mind touching them but having them loose in the house is annoying.it boggled my mind but they can squeeze through the tiniest cracks

I have a cricket keeper that holds about 75 baby crickets. Rather than going to the pet store several times a week, does anyone have any suggestions on what I can use or buy, to hold a larger amount.
Also, if I would get a larger amount, how long do crickets last?
I am going to pick up my first batch of Humphrey pictures in a little while..I will probably share some with you
Thanks

QUESTION: Someone helped me make something BIG for crickets. With as long as crickets last, how many can I safely get at one time. I talked to a person who has a cricket farm, and he said about 250 BUT I wanted your opinion
