What to do with baby crickets

[YagerManJennsen]

Not sure if this is the best place for this thread.
I looked in my G. sp. north's enclosure today and found several little baby crickets. There must have been a pregnant/gravid mama crickets that I put in there and it laid eggs. So yeah, what should I do with them I don't want them to start munching on the T. The T is not molting BTW.

Get them out. If you have very small slings you can feed them other than that just put them in a box.

I'm thinking about using them to start a small cricket breeding operation but I'm not sure how successful they usually are.

Put little dots of color on each one. Start a cricket-race gambling ring, win money to buy new tarantulas

Or make an orkestre of cricks

I would never breed crickets. They are loud, they smell very bad and they aren't very nutritious for your T. I would go with roaches. But be carefull. If you have a small collection your breeding will outgrow your need for feeders.

Let the tank dry out. The baby crickets will die off or commit suicide in the water bowl.

You could contact your local animal shelter and try to arrange some adoptions !

Put them in the webs of the spiders on the outside corners of your house!!

That's what I do . Give some spiders a free and easy meal . It's really a win win situation . The more eight legged pest controllers that I have around my house the fewer bothersome insects I have . Besides , I love to sit out late at night watching my "outside" pets diligently spinning and maintaining their webs to warm glow of a slew of cheap dollar store Tiki torches . Each web with big fat cricket wrapped nicely for later use . In the morning the cricket is gone and the spider has retreated to it's daytime hiding spot .

This ^, suicide solution.

You could also add a piece of a straw and set it leading to the water bowl to speed up the suicides.

I put some of the crickets in a sterilite box and du,led the rest of the substrate outside, decided just to change it all out for fresh sub.

Eat them, I just recently ate 3 which appeared in my scorpion's cage and having them roasted was a delight at the dinner table. Yummm. Btw tarantulas are pretty good too.
