Lee's Pet Kricket Keepers
Crickets provide valuable protein, vitamins, and minerals for many reptiles. In the past, they have been difficult to keep for any length of time. But now, with Kricket Keeper, you can maintain healthy crickets for a week or longer. Because crickets love hiding in dark, confined places, Kricket Keeper has provided four texturized, black cylinders that double as cricket refuges and feeder tubes. When you're ready to feed, just remove the tube with the crickets inside. The trap door will shut automatically and you can transfer the cylinder, along with the crickets, to your pet for feeding.
Includes clear viewer/feeder window at top, great ventilation, carrying handle, and food/water dishes.
Assembly
- Remove all four cylinders.
- Put the hook end of the trap door on the upper-most bar above cylinder opening.
- Snap it into place.
- Repeat the process for the remaining trap doors.
- To restore a cylinder, push back on the pivot point to lift the trap door, then slide the cylinder into position.
Feeding: Simply slide a cylinder out of the Keeper (trap door will drop down to cover the opening). Cover the open end of the feeder tube with your hand as you move to the location of your animal. Remove your hand and lightly tap the cylinder to release the appropriate number of crickets. Cover the open end again and return it to the Keeper. Caution: To avoid escapees, remove only one cylinder at a time.
Cricket Care: Place Kricket Keeper in a well-ventilated, low-humidity area (temperature 70° - 75°F). Keep the enclosure clean and dry and avoid direct sunlight and drafts. Maintain a supply of premium cricket food and water gel at all times, in the shallow dishes provided.
Do not use water, crickets could drown. If water gel is not available, use a sponge soaked in water.
Cleaning Instructions: Remove any deceased crickets, shed skin, or waste. Clean the entire unit with hot tap water after each use.
Soap or detergent may leave a residue that is harmful or even lethal to crickets.
