How do you keep the crickets in this cage??

I'd like to know this as well, since iguanas are NOT herbivores, but omnivores.

I store mine in a plastic container that locks tightly. The primary reason for that is to keep insects out. Rice will keep for months in a cool, dry space.

I just keep them in the bag on a shelf. I have an old Flukers meal worms bottle that I just refill out of the bag and that I leave on my dresser. I can say not to store it on top of the cage as mine got wise to this and ate a hole in the bag and ate meal worms to their hearts content. But yeah, the freeze drying makes them stay very well.

These strips come in one length and one has to cut them to fit the length of the door. One can make them sit as low on the door and close to the floor are one wants to. They have an adhesive strip, but I strengthened them by stapling them onto the door. I put one on the inside and one on the outside. I am not familiar with how big or small cave crickets are, but I think that these strips should keep them out, if you put them on so that they touch the floor. They are pretty thick and stiff; a cricket could not get through them. I think you should try one on the outside and one on the inside of the door. They are pretty inexpensive, so even if they do not work, you have little to lose. I would give them a try; I think they would work.

There is no way to clean the cage with out taking the bottom off. Put a piece of news paper on the floor. Set the cage next to the paper, release the four side clips and set the top section of the cage on the news paper. You then have the bottom section that you can take out side and clean. I made a card board pattern too cut new paper for the bottom of the cage. The hardest part of the job is picking up the cage and setting it on the floor. All in all it's a sweet cage because the design keeps most of the seeds and feathers in the age. Hope this helps. Greg

I don't have crickets but the traps catch spiders , scorpions and other crawly things from my floor. And no you don't touch the insects - just pick up the cardboard trap and throw the little pests away :>)

Pull down on the cage and lift the square top. Cock it sideways to stay open. I cut a small soda bottle in half and use it as a scoop. Works great.

I jut use a plastic shoe box and poke holes in the lid. Feed them flour, oatmeal and cornmeal with sliced potatoes for moisture. I let a few mature to beetles to get the eggs and keep the supply going. some keep in the fridge so they don't mature

Just place them under the feet of your bed. They work by not allowing the bed bugs to get out of the bowl once they are in it. They won't be as effective if you have any sheets or blankets that can touch the floor as the bed bugs will crawl up them and on to you. Hope this helps.

No, I just set it down in strategic places. Did you just scatter them around? Place them on every corner in your kitchen && restroom. Roaches need food and water (like every living thing) so those are the 2 most important places.I put some like every cabinet too. Almost wasted the whole bag and I combined these traps with Roach Tablets, you can also buy them on Amazon.

I store mine in the freezer in airtight containers. Works OK, and it should prevent all nasty critters. Mine hasn't gotten soggy or anything after a few months of this.BTW, I recommend NOT buying this much masa unless you're sure that your needs are awfully high. I'm regretting buying so much. 50 pounds is way more than I expected.

Buy a cheap aluminum baking sheet for the bottom to provide a way to keep the cage clean. You can easily lift that part of the cage to remove, clean and re insert the tray!.

Hi Catherine. I am very sorry but we will be of no help - I had two guys come in that do construction and they figured it out. Good luck, it is a beautiful cage when together and my birdies love it.

I keep them in a plastic shoe box with holes in the lid, I use the egg crate, & I also use the clear liquid gel to keep water in there for them. I crush up dog food and parrot pellets to feed them and they do fine for months.

you can't and it is really difficult and takes alot of time to put the cage together. great cage after putting together but cleaning is a chore.

I, too, kept mine inside. I do know that the worms don't do well with prolonged very high (90+) temperatures. I would definitely keep them in a the shade, or perhaps in a garage, during the hottest part of the summer. Good luck.
