damn thouse crickets

[memento]

ello all quick question.... I'm new with keeping reptiles and I picked up a critter keeper or something along thouse lines that I figured woudl hold the crickets in there... i put in some egg carton pieces and a peice of potatoe I have two containers one for mealies and one for crickets... well on friday night a cricket got out of the keeper.. i looked at it and saw no where i thought they coudl get out... the grate on the lid that lets the air in i thought was to small for them to get out... yesterday there was another escapee and one went from the cricket one and ended up somehow in the mealworm one??? I have NO clue how they did that as i cant even figure out how they get out let alone back in... whats the *best* way to keep crickets so they dont get away like this?

lol sorry i cant help either but at night i just close my i and pretend im campin under the stars while there chirpin all over the house LOL.
you could try puttin them in something higher so they cant even jump to the top.

Roy stockwell once reccomended keeping crickets in high rubbermaids with no lid....all he did was put duck tape all around the edges with the sticky side facing inwards and over top...if u can understand what i'm trying to say....
