So I need help with my cricket care. The last few times I have gotten feeder crickets, over the next days or so a lot of them seem to die off or are close to death. For example, today there were a bunch of them flipped onto their backs and twitching like crazy. I give them the Fluker's cricket quencher & Mazuri's bug gut loading diet for food/water. I know I give them enough toilet paper rolls & egg crates to hide in.
The only two factors to this that I can think of is the size of the tub I keep them in (15 qt with holes cut in the side, with wire mesh over it so they don't escape). And the bedding/substrate - your basic wood shavings from the pet store. Am I not giving them enough space? Am I using the wrong bedding? Who knows, maybe I'm not feeding them the right things. Or is there anything else that could factor into them dying?
Any help is greatly appreciated!!!!!
