Whats the best type of container to keep live crickets in?
The plastic tote boxes readily available at most home improvement stores work great. If you want something smaller, check out our Lee’s Cricket Keeper – it’s perfect for 500 1/2″ crickets (can hold more if the crickets are smaller). Glass aquariums are OK… but not the best choice. Glass is a poor conductor of heat which means it tends to stay cool to the touch. This can make it difficult to maintain the proper temperature for the crickets, ESPECIALLY for crickets 1/4″ & smaller. Expect a higher death rate when crickets are kept in a glass tank.
