Feeding and Care
Select crickets no larger than the space between your pet’s eyes. Remove uneaten crickets after feeding. House crickets in a smooth-sided, ventilated container with egg flats or cardboard tubes. Keep them around 75–85°F, away from direct sunlight and drafts. Provide cricket chow and hydration gel or fresh produce, and remove spoiled food and waste regularly.
