Tips and tricks from the pro's

Please post if you have any tips on dusting and feeding crickets.

Right now I just throw Some calcium or vitamins in a ziplock bag add crickets and shake it up. Then I dig crickets out of the powder and drop them in the aquarium.

Am I doing it the hard way or is this just how it's done.

Lol, you can pay money to do it or do it the cheap way XD. I use a old betta cup, has a small hole in the lid that i can funnle feeders into.

I like the good-old 'shake and bake' method with a zip-lock bag.

i like the zip loc bag method, i do the same thing, plus its cheaper in the long run because you can keep re-using the bag of powder and make it last longer than one feeding, i usually make it last for 2 or 3 weeks on one bag

I use " shake and bake method "And then fish em out with tweezers. That stupid funnel thing doesn't work for me. I think the crickets are onto it and run away from it.

i use shake and bake method my self. i add my powder then my crickets and i shake i pinch the corner where all the powder is and i just pour the crickets into the tank. Dont put enough powder to where you would have to dig crickets out.

I use a cup, then when they're nice and dusty, slowly pour them into the tank, most of the dust stays in the cup. When I feed roaches or mealworms, i put the dust right in the food bowl, then put the bugs in.
