Storing Crickets for Geckos

Crickets are a popular and easy to obtain food source for geckos, but in order to keep them healthy and provide sustenance for your gecko, it’s important to properly store them. Below we will discuss how to best store crickets for geckos.

Cricket Prep

Make sure your crickets are properly fed and given fresh water before storing them. A good way to feed them is to provide a variety of different fruits and vegetables as this ensures they are getting a balanced diet.

Also, crickets should warmed up before they are given to a gecko. To do this, you can simply leave the crickets out in a room temperature environment for a few minutes before feeding.

Storage

Once the crickets are prepared, it’s time to store them. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • A container or cage large enough for the crickets
  • Paper towels
  • Fruits and vegetables
  • Calcium or nutritional powder

Most small containers or cages will do the trick when it comes to cricket storage. Place the crickets in the container with a few pieces of damp paper towels. To feed them, add small pieces of fruits and vegetables.

For additional nutrition, sprinkle a light layer of calcium or nutritional powder over the fruits and vegetables. This will provide the crickets with extra nutrition that they need.

Final Tips

Temperature: The container should be kept at room temperature or slightly higher. Avoid placing in direct sunlight.

Humidity: Crickets require humid conditions in order to stay healthy, so make sure to check the humidity levels in the container by using a humidity gauge.

By following these steps, you can ensure your crickets are healthy and ready to be fed to your gecko.
