Once you order them and hold for extended periods of time? Homemade crickets cages, boxes (like the ones where you buy them) or some other container?

I would like to get a bunch going to have on hand all throughout the spring/summer months.

Any ideas, pictures of what you have would be appreciated.

That a new one...and I'll have to try it too.

Crickets are easy to feed...cut up a potato and replace it every 3-5 days.

try feeding your crickets slices of banana I heard it gives them an aroma or taste that BG and other sunfish cant resist.
