This goes for their nymphs too. Personally I find it easier not to bother transferring stuff because I am hugely lazy. That is why I preferred going with one large bin over smaller ones to try and segregate sizes.How deep is the soil in the containers? From the photo it looks rather shallow to me. Depending on how many crickets you realistically want to keep at once, you are going to need to add a lot more eggcrate. Like Rick, I like to have some-sort of substrate on the bottom for texture. I also like to crush the dog food with a hammer first. It lets the crickets grab a chunk and move off which makes it much easier for the little ones to get a piece without being crowded out by the larger adults.</blockquote>
