How to remove feeder crickets from their shipping box, while seperating dead ones from live ones

  • It is inevitable for some crickets to die during the shipping process, but usually they aren't many. In this video, I show my technique for seperating all of the live crickets from everything else (dead crickets, poop, etc) that may be in the box as well. This helps to keep their tub clean off the bat, which helps them stay alive for longer. Crickets thrive in a clean environment!!

    It’s nice how you also care for them as well. Sure, they’re food, but they still deserve respect. Nice to see a video promoting their care.

    Very great and informative demo, thank you! You do a fantastic job of not saying 'uhm...' a lot, if ever, and it's so nice how you treat your feeder crickets so well!

    The larvae and beetles are a cleanup crew that eat cricket and roach frass and carcasses in breeder colonies. They're beneficial. It helps keep your colonies from stinking.

      The Dart Frog Queen I once asked about the cleaner crew bugs at Rainbown Meal worms and the employees say that they recommend that we kill the cleaners before throwing them about because apparently they can eat Wood and harm a home in larger numbers 😅 I’ve lost two, still keeping an eye out for them😃

    Few questions:
    1. How do you maintain your crickets after they're in their new home. (i.e. how to clean out dead ones, change out food, etc.?
    2. How often do you check on their food/drink
    3. How do you take out crickets from bin to feed to your reptiles?
    4. What material do you use for the screen at the top of the lid?
    Love your videos , very informational!!

      I think you will have to find the answers on your own or on another youtube channel that actually answers back..

      She hasn’t posted in two years hopefully she’s well. Found a lot of useful information on cricket care on a forum for other chameleon keepers when I got my veiled chameleon.

    Once upon a time crickets in large amounts made my skin crawl. Now I'm a mom of a bearded dragon, and now large amounts of crickets are like heaven! 🙌 Can't believe how much baby beardies can eat

    Feel like you should've removed the potatos before shaking them all off the egg carton 😂 Other than that this is a great and efficient way to deal with big batches of crickets!

    Nice, this was super helpful. Crickets make me crazy because they somehow seem smart and will discover every single escape ever, but also complete idiots bent of getting themselves killed.

    Where do your order your crickets from? Do you have a source for the clean empty egg crates? I'm preparing to get a panther chameleon so I am still learning the difference methods for care. Love your chanell have learned so much! Thank you!

    Great video! I keep a dubia colony and use them for my frogs, but just got my first chameleon, who is proving to be more picky... I hate dealing with crickets, but after seeing your setup, I think I might give it a go. I would love to see how you remove crickets for feeding without them escaping, etc.
    Keep up the good work!
    Also, FYI dubia are illegal in FL, but you can keep discoids, which are very very similar to dubia if you want to keep another feeder species.

    WHY TRASH THE DEAD ONES??? .. Give them to someone who goes fishing. Feed someone's turtle. A Lizard. Anything but toss them in the trash. That's just wasteful right there..
