How do you get your Crickets to your reptiles?

Most of us have a tub or small cage where we keep and feed our crickets. How do you get your crickets from their home to the gecko's home?


In my cricket tub, in addition to the regular egg cartons, I have a white corrigated cardboard tube used in the packaging of regular lightbulbs that the crickets will run to when I open the cricket tub. I take this tube and shake it once or twice into an exo-terra cricket rock with the vitamin/calcium of the day already waiting. A few shakes and then the rock goes into the vivarium. The geckos know the rock now and they will even wait by the hole in the rock for the dinner guests to arrive.

I'm curious how others are getting crickets moved to the geckos, specially those with a dozen or so leos!!!

I don't have a dozen leos, but I use one of those cricket keepers. It is just a plastic tub with two black tubes that the crickets climb into. You take those out, hit them out into a plastic bag, shake them up with the calcium, and then dump into the leo tank.

I always throw toilet paper rolls into my cricket cages when I'm done with the toilet paper. The crickets crawl into them to hide (like with the egg cartons) and then you can just pick the rolls up and shake them into the Leos cages.

That's exactly what I use, and that size, as I just have one Leopard.
