container size

[captdan]

how small can you get away with in keeping an order of 500 1/4" crickets in?

I would use one of those plastic storage bins and egg flats.

I keep all mine in 10 gallons tanks and they are large enough for 1000 - 1/2" so I would believe you could get away with something even half that size.
