looks like im not the only one who is happy with the design either :)

lol thanks alot. but he really has a pretty plentiful / consistent supply of crickets w/o anything extra to coax them up the tube... maybe im just lucky though :) you could maybe add some cricket food to the cup toward the end of the week as they start to thin out in the keeper... but i...

i know our water is great brad, i just thought that all city tap water needed it for some reason. guess i'll toss it then... thanks :)

just dechlorination

this is a dechlorinator right?... is it similiar to exo terra aquatize?? i have some of the latter but if they are drastically different products then i might have to switch

thanks :) and no, they 'voluntarily' go out into the light of the cup feeder to climb around, and they go back into the tube. they do mostly stay in the tubes, but there is no shortage of curious ones wandering up into the feeder for zim to eat. they just have to get close to the end of the...

you'll be alright there, i have one of the smallest humidifiers i could find and it makes it a week no problem running twice a day for 30min. each

depends on how many i put in there i guess :) how much the cham eats / how old, etc etc. i have been goin with 100 crickets for a week for my 6mo. vieled, about time to start lowering the amount i put in there see if it will still last the week and hope he will just eat less per day.

pretty much. this was made as a temporary solution for being out of town, why i left it so i could cap it off at the top as well as the bottom of the tube, so it's a normal cup feeder if i cap it. i dunno how fast they clean themselves but i tried giving the crickets a heavy dusting before...

i am looking into different feeder insects i can keep... sofar i have only been working with crickets. for anyone who keeps dubias would this setup work the same for them as it does the crickets?

i am a vieled owner but i still put panther. vieled are great though, and for as much as a panther alone i got a vieled and all the setup stuff for him :P vieled are great first chams but from here on out any more chams i get will be panthers for sure

i had the same thing happening to me and the container was too warm - moved it to a cooler room and it helped quite a bit

i use a heavy duty razor knife, make a line, and cut a groove over and over with the knife... it doesn't take long before the groove is deep enough to make a clean break when you bend it.

i am a big fan of the overhead ceramic heater for extra / night heat

thanks alot. :) i first did 100 and with 1 empty tube in the keeper it was good for about 4 days before they started to slow down significantly, i was good for another day or so after that, it gets slow. my goal was to have somethin that would automate his feeding for 1 week and i think this...

im not sure what you mean by supplement tape?? i never had a plan for that, i just dust them when i get them and put them in the keeper. for now i am using fluker's orange cube and water pillows in my kricket keeper... i havent looked deeper into keeping crickets yet but i am sure that will...

thanks ya'll... yea the tube is in there just enough that i can cap off both ends and use it like a normal cup feeder, or leave it set up like i have pictured if i need to go out of town for a few days, or if i just don't wanna mess with him. i live a good distance away from 'town' so it can...

here are a couple action shots after a fresh cleaning and restock of the kricket keeper. sofar it's perfect, right after takin these pics my cham went over and got a cricket and most of them ran back down the tube right away. he hung out for maybe 10min. and was able to get a decent meal then...
