They are not aggressive, they don’t jump. Only full adult crickets sing (make noise). When they arrive: Open our shipping box inside a large container (use plastic), you don’t want them running all over the place if you just open the box. During winter months allow your crickets to warm up after arrival. They go dormant in weather below 60 degrees they look completely dead. Warm them up in room temperature in a large container for 3-6 hours before assuming they are dead. We add additional crickets to each order to cover any dead once on route. (Life span of a cricket is apx. 7 to 8 weeks, our adults are between 5 to 6 weeks old, please take that in consideration). Crickets shed their skin like a snake, it’s white and some thinks they’re dead, but it’s just their shell/skin. Storage: Contain them in a large plastic tub/terrarium or a cricket home. A plastic tub (20 x17x15 inch), 56 Qt. or 20 Gal in size, (can also buy cricket housing), do not need a lid, as they need air, they will not jump and can’t climb out of the slick plastic sides. Line the bottom with brown paper or paper towels, stack paper tubes around (like center of a paper towels), or built with cardboard cones, the best is use large flat egg cartons (stack them up like a condo, and they can hide in them). Temperature: Ideal temperature is 70 to 75 degrees, low humidity (keep them dry), no direct sunlight or cold drafts. Heat pads can be use but don’t put directly under the plastic, heat lamps and bedding material are not recommended, crickets like darkness and lots of ventilation. Food: Refresh every 2 days with food and water. Give them cricket food (our own formula, it is corn free). Cricket Food is available for sale on in 1 LB or 4 LB bags. We feed the same food to our crickets. Our cricket food is not available anywhere else, it is our special blend of the best natural grains (non-corn) mixture with vitamins and proteins, our crickets loves it, it is a very fine easy to eat so there is no waste as they eat them up, it is NOT chicken food, it is made for crickets. 1 LB Cricket Food or 4 LB Cricket Food. Water: Best to give them real water. Use a shallow water tray, put pebbles or make a bridge using something with traction for them to climb in and out of and not drown. Baby crickets younger then 2 week old cannot drink water gel, use a fine/clean sponge without any deep holes in the shallow tray. Vegetables are a good water source. If you put vegetables and fruits like carrots, just make sure you change it often, lots of ventilation. Cleaning: The cleaner they are the healthier they are. Keep them dry and warm. Remove any dead crickets, shed skins, and waste material. Dead crickets will affect the live once. Wash the container out with hot water and completely dry the container regularly. Keep away pesticides and cleaning solution other than a mild bleach solution. (Do not use any kind of soap or chemical.) Transfer crickets for feeding your pet: They climb on everything except for plastic and glass (smooth surface). To help transport them for feeding, use wooden stick or paper tube or egg crate and just shake them off into your pet’s tank. Caution: If you’re feeding (1/4 inch) and larger crickets to your reptile, only give enough crickets to your pet per day, don’t leave crickets running around inside your habited. Make sure all the crickets have eaten by the end of the day before your pet goes to sleep. If too many left in your habit, take the crickets out. The reason is, large crickets has little saw like arms when they are 2 weeks and older. They can scratch the skin off your reptile when they are sleeping.
