i leave a tube from the cricket keeper in the viv over night. usually catches all the loose crickets. we have extra tubes, so crix don't jump out of the keeper.
I only put in 10 at a time to limit the amount I have to remove. Once he is finished eating I corner them and just pick them up with my fingers. I found just picking them up with my hand was the fastest and easiest way of doing it. Other jar feed, and some feed outside of the viv so that there are never any crickets that can hide in the viv.
ok cool cheers guys. what do you mean by the tubes, mine have only got them card bored things that eggs come in? yer i try to put about 10 in at a time but find it hard to make shore just 10 go in and i cant catch the lil rascles they keep jumpin as soon as i get any were near them. ill keep tryin tho
over time your cricket catching skills will improve. When I first got Piggy I got so frustrated that I could not catch the crix, I sucked them up with the vacuum hose. After seeing I killed about 20+ crickets I quickly realized no matter how frustrated I got that was not a good idea since it killed them and crickets cost is very high with a baby beardie.
