Mike’s Fish Tank – Crickets
Posted by Dustin Horton // October 8, 2016 // Articles, Mike's Fish Tank
A lot of people want to know how to keep crickets alive. Use the biggest container you have room for.
Be sure to put toilet paper tubes or paper towel tubes into the cage so the crickets are not on top of each other.
Feed some type of cricket food. There are many varieties available. Most are a gel, which is their food and water.
You can throw a potato in for them to eat and for moisture but there isn’t a lot of nutrition in a potato, so still feed some of the crickets food gel.
Keep crickets away from extreme heat or cold. They don’t like it too hot and they hate the cold too. Crickets dehydrate easy so be sure to supply them with a small dish of water. However if you are using the cricket gel, then you won’t need a dish of water.
That’s pretty much it. Follow those few things and you should have better luck with the crickets surviving.
