Pinhead keeping

[lisa h]

I'm expecting 500 pinheads in the next while and don't know what to keep them in. I have a cricket keeper for small crickets, but the holes look big enough for pinheads to crawl through. If my husband finds escapees then the chams, the crickets and me will be out of here

Do I need any ventilation?

Yes. ventilation is very important. Gases given off by dead crickets kill others. A breadloaf sized tub with an airtight lid is good. cut most of the inner lid away leaving 2' of rim all round and hotglue or melt flyscreen over it.
Moisture is crucial for tiny insects, fresh raw carrot rounds daily and fresh greens.
