    Shrink wrap Reptibreeze or DIY Cage?

    Yeah you could even replace the screen with heavy Guage plastic. Or just fo with a diy zen habitats style. The rail is available and you can buy pvc sheets and cut to fit. It's easier than you think. Check my posts for my diy cage

    How do we dispose of old uvb bulbs?

    I think home depots (at least where I live) collect them. I've known others to wrap them in a heavy garbage bag then break the bulb with a hammer and then put them in the trash... Not saying that's what you should do but I've known people who do that.

    OK 24hrs in ... Lots of sheds, not many dead crickets. Shook All the denris to a corner, waited 20min, shooed away the live ones amd vacuumed up the remaining. They love dry bug burger and flukers cricket diet. Also really love the cricket quencher. Wish me luck through the weekend.

    Keeping crickets alive

    Anyone use bioactive with crickets? Saw 2 videos on YouTube about using soil, leaf litter, and isopods with crickets and it helping to keep clean and also help reduce die off. I have 1000 crickets inbound and need to build their container.

    I wish my guy didn't stop eating dubias... I have a self sustaining colony but he won't touch them unfortunately. Going to buy 1000 and sew how that goes. I got a 56qt container from target so we'll see.

    Keeping crickets alive

    Does too small a container contribute to die off? I have my 100 in a 5gal tote. I can try a larger one and see how that goes. Do most people have 2 bins to swap back and forth for cleaning?

    Keeping crickets alive

    Does anyone have a written guide for how to keep crickets alive? I can't keep 100 crickets alive for more than 4 or 5 days and honestly they live just fine in my garage because it seems that any that have gotten out have been breeding and living their best life in my garage. How big of a...

    Parasite check without fecal sample

    I agree with everything you said! I'll trim it back, it's just starting to get to be a jungle and I love it but I'll do some tactical trimming. And yes, I agree he looks healthy but he's not eating at a time I thought they should be packing on the pounds. Bur maybe I'm wrong.
