Really Good Choice

You won't regret choosing to buy this cricket keeper. This makes your job so much easier. You just put some cricket food and water gel in there time to time and pour in crickets into the keeper thing.
The crickets will climb into the black circular holed stick and you just need to pull out that stick to drop some crickets into your pet's eating spot.
It was so useful, I bought one small and one big. I bought small one first to test out and bought a big one to allow me buying crickets in bulk. Small one will contain up to 100 small crickets without giving them stress. Big one is about 300-400 small crickets max. I tried putting 500 small crickets into the big one and so many of them died out of stress in a few days.

This product works great. I have two of them and order 1000 crickets on line and split them between the two and they live a long time. Easy to clean.

Very nice for feeders

As far as a keeper for feeder crickets, this is very nice. For the price, the quality is good. I would like to see some of the pieces made a bit better. For instance the plastic tube caps break very easily and the covers come off to easily. The best feature of this all though is the convenience it provides. I can carry the crickets into the room and pull out a tube and shake some into my gecko's cage. I would recommend this to anyone that feeds geckos or other small reptiles crickets. I however do not care for crickets and will start to feed my gecko dubia roaches. Maybe Petco will start to carry them in the future.

I purchased the large container which is small. You would be better off using a rubbermaid tub and egg cartons, so you have room to get what you need inside it and remove without a problem. Also the tubes from paper towels work great to transfer crickets to your reptiles cage. Save you money on this item.

My gecko's are still young so I have to get small crickets. I had to cover up the vents with some breathable fabric so they couldn't get out. Which was not big deal to me because I knew that I needed to do this with any keep. Works great.

I just got my cricket keeper this morning, it came faster then it said it would so I'm satisfied. It is a good product only Petco has this product in Hawaii comes with 4 trays for food and water and 4 tubes for them to hide in and makes it easy to feed my 2 jackson's chameleons. I've read some of the reviews about the tubes saying they escape and i found it easy to just block the bottom of the tube when i take it out so they don't jump out before they reach my jackson's i would recommend this product to people who keeps live crickets.

Pretty Good Overall

This keeper is pretty good. Really the only downer is that the venelation holes are HUGE and there are little holes where the trapdoor is so crickets get out through those to. I had to tape down alot of the holes to make sure they don't get out. So really once your done tapping it it's works well.

Keeper can't keep Crickets
PostedJanuary 7, 2011
spikathebeardie
I have two large Kricket Keepers to keep crickets for my Bearded dragon. At first, I could not figure out how we were going through crickets so quickly.
Then I saw one the little buggers walk right out the slot where the tube cover flaps clip in. I taped the flaps down, taped over the slots and put the cases in a deep bathtub.
Within 2 days, I had at least 20 crickets loose in the tub! I sealed every opening I could find and left only one low bit of egg crate. Fewer got out, but still a few a day.
It's a little better now that I get bigger crickets but I just saw a pretty large cricket go right though the grille.
Sure, the tubes make feeding easy, and if you don't mind a serious cricket infestation in you house, or you have a spare deep bathtub, this is the feeder for you. If you prefer your crickets contained, keep looking. And let me know when you find a solution, because I'd like the bathtub back.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The idea of the tubes for easily getting crickets is good, but they are awful products. Crickets constantly escape from these.

I got this when i first got 2 leopard geckos, and I still have it. Crickets got out by the dozen, but then i realized that there were a few holes they could escape from. I fill it with apple slices and lettuce for water, climbing, and food. It is built in housing and gut loading. One problem is the crickets wouldn't go in the black tube, so what I do is put it in the refridgerator for 10-30 minutes, and then i grab them with feeding tongs, after which i put them in a plastic bag and add in powder. My geckos can't get enough, and it helps gut loading alot. I am going to get a few more, as 24 crickets don't last long, but I'm guessing 96 will. I can just imagine the look on their faces. " Yes, I'll take 8 dozen large crickets. Yes, I do have a Pals Card. Thank you very much."

I needed a cricket keeper when my grandson came to visit with me on weekends with his beared dragon. She is just a baby and needed crickets to survive. First I bought the small one but later realized the big one is much more useful. I also bought cricket food to keep them healthy so, the lizard stays healthy too, great buy and hightly reccomend this item.

I have a pink toe tarantula and all it eats is crickets,,,at first i would just buy 4 a week and put it in its tank.After two months of doing that i found this product. i was afraid it would work but it sure prove me wrong. Now every month i buy 40 to 50 small crickets and just but them in there.I will also suggest to buy "Flukers orange cubes" they are the best and help keep the crickets live longer than usually.Its a two in one combo, water and food , that way the crickets dont die by drowning in the water.

Sanity saver!

With a young and growing bearded dragon, I go through quite a few crickets, and dealing with quite a few crickets is an absolute nightmare! Before, I had them in a container similar to this (no tubes) and lost at least five or so a week to escapes while moving them from the cage to the dusting bag or beardie cage. I've had the Kricket Keeper for a few months now and only TWO escapes! Just slip out the tube and rattle it around with a few good shakes and there's a horde of crickets for my beardie to chase down and devour. With a little practice, I can even pour the crickets into his salad bowl now so I don't have to worry about the beardie ingesting any substrate with his sloppy hunting! I cannot stress how amazing these things are. I definately reccomend them to anyone with reptiles. They're a little small for big eaters like beardies, but still worth the sanity if you must feed crickets.
Not to mention I'm also planning on using this to hold the weeks smaller feeding dubia roaches once I get my colony going! The tubes are great for any feeder insect with a hiding instinct!

from Lake Butler,Fl.
I have got 2 kricket keepers now from petco and highly recommend if you have a pet you feed crickets to, then this is a must have item. It makes feeding your pet so easy because all you need to do is slightly tap the tube inside your cricket duster or feed bowl then you are done, no more chasing or having to handle crickets. It is great I use them to store the crickets I feed to all my pet frogs and love how easy/fast it is. The keeper also has your feeding dishes included to make feeding your crickets easy also. The tubes are a little hard to keep clean, but here is a tip for that take the cap off the end and run hot water through them and use a small brush such as a tooth brush or pipe/straw cleaner to scrub the sides. Believe me you will be glad you got this item so you must get one or more today, Enjoy!

Very Useful/Dependable

BirdGirl
from Corona, Ca
I got this keeper two years ago, and it has made feeding my leopard gecko much easier. The tubes are very useful, because you just tap out however many crickets you want to feed your pet, and you can also easily check how many are left so you know when to buy more crickets. The door on top is also useful to pour the crickets in. I've only had problems with the tube opening covers breaking off, and the side cracking a little bit, but that was because it was accidentally dropped, and cleaning the tubes. However, it keeps the crickets in, and it comes with food/water bowls, and it is the perfect size for up to 25 crickets.

This is wonderful for keeping the crix for my Bearded Dragon. the crixs are easy to shake out of the tubes and it's easy to pull one of the tubes out and drop food in for the crix.
