Little Red Worms with homebred crickets

[Kylie C]

Ok so.... the crickets like to reproduce sometimes in my Gecko’s tank. I decided to “harvest” the little guys and put them into my cricket feeder with some of the old coconut bedding. They get fresh food everyday and I mist the enclosure so maybe they will be comfortable enough to lay eggs... I wanted to try breeding my own, you see. However, I was preparing some for Lucky to eat and I noticed some teeny red/gray worms squirming inside of the pepper and the soil. Definitely were not in the peppers to begin with. I’ll try to post a pic... what do I do? They are not fuzzy

Hello, could you post a picture of them? I've never heard of worms in a cricket cage. I would suggest cleaning out the entire cage, replacing the substrate and possibly getting rid of all the crickets.
