So I've been noticing how much money i've spent on crickets and I have to buy new crickets every few days as my baby veiled eats about 8-15 small crickets a day. So I was looking online for feeder crickets in order to save money. I found both 250 and 500 crickets for fairly cheap. As of right now i gut load the crickets with cut up strawberries and flukers cricket quencher and shake them in calcium powder before feeding them to Malibu. I keep them in a fairly small tupperware container with holes in the lid, as I usually only buy about 30 at time. I also keep toilets paper rolls and cut up egg carton for hides in with them. Before I buy the crickets online I want to be sure I can keep them alive (Don't want to waste my money on dead crickets). Any tips on keeping crickets alive? How big of a container will i need for 250-500 crickets? what to feed them? Also how fast do crickets grow? If my veiled eats small crickets from petco what size should I get? The options from the website are in fractions of an inch (ex. 1/4").
