This is a great cricket keeper for a small amount of tiny crickets. We just need a few crickets every now and then to feed a Venus flytrap so this size cage was perfect for that. If you need more crickets or larger crickets I would suggest going a size up because this one is very small

Nice construction

Beautiful little box. I will actually use it to winter over any spider that I catch indoors when the snow flies.

Cricket pen

I’ve used this cricket pen for a couple of weeks now and so far it has been pretty good. I saw that the description said small, but wasn’t quite aware of just how small it is until it arrived. It doesn’t fit very many large crickets (it says it will hold 20 but it seemed a little too crowded with 15), but it has helped me keep them alive longer than other containers. It think it’s the water bowl with the sponge. It holds more water than other bowls that I’ve used and the crickets can get in there and drink easily without possibly drowning. My leopard gecko doesn’t eat a whole lot of crickets anyway (she definitely prefers worms) so the size isn’t much of a problem and it does make it easier to store.

It took a minute

I had to make sure the four tubes were put in correctly. The crickets escaped when I didn’t.

Feeder Friend

Great container for crawling or hopping insects! I attempted to use it for blue bottle flies however they managed to escape but for sure ideal for crickets or dubia

Great container for crawling or hopping insects! I attempted to use it for blue bottle flies however they managed to escape but for sure ideal for crickets or dubia roaches. The angled feeding dish and water dish with sponge is probably my most favorite feature. Always had a hard time finding the best small container to hold enough food and water but still fit in the container and not spill. The size of the container is easy for storage and easy to clean. I didn’t get the chance to use the tubes yet but I imagine that is a very helpful feature especially with crickets. Overall good quality and would recommend to any needing something to keep feeder bugs in.

Well designed cricket pen.

Thus cricket pen was a well thought out product. There are spots for water and food, so your crickets last as long as you need them before becoming food themselves

Thus cricket pen was a well thought out product. There are spots for water and food, so your crickets last as long as you need them before becoming food themselves. There are 2 hollow chambers that the crickets crawl into, that then slide out of the pen, with a hinged door closing behind it so you don't have any escapees. You then dispense the crickets and replace the chamber. It is not very large unfortunately, so if you're keeping anything over maybe 35 - 50 crickets, this is probably not ideal for you.

This really comes in handy for making sure my reptiles crickets are fully gut loaded the day before feeding. It came with a water and food dish that have ramps so the crickets can easily climb in and out. And bonus I dont have to worry about any of them jumping out and escaping! This has been a life saver for sure! The crickets just hang out in the tubes and I just shake them out into the enclosures.

Game changer for feeding time

I’ve been keeping reptiles for several years now, and I can confidently say that the Exo Terra Cricket Pen has completely revolutionized the way I store and handle

I’ve been keeping reptiles for several years now, and I can confidently say that the Exo Terra Cricket Pen has completely revolutionized the way I store and handle feeder crickets. If you’re tired of crickets escaping, struggling with messy containers, or just looking for an easier, more efficient way to feed your pets, this little pen is exactly what you need. First off, the design is brilliant. The pen is compact, lightweight, and easy to move around. It’s perfectly sized for small collections or for hobbyists who keep just one or two pets. I personally use it for my leopard gecko and it comfortably holds enough crickets for a week or more depending on their appetite. The ventilation is excellent – crickets stay alive much longer than they did in the temporary plastic tubs I used before. I add a few bits of egg crate and keep them stocked with fresh veggies or cricket food, and they’re good to go. What really makes this product shine are the two dispensing tubes. These tubes make feeding almost effortless. When it’s time for a feeding, I just gently shake a few crickets into the tube, cap the end, and let my geckos hunt from there. The tubes are clear, so I can see how many I’m dispensing, and it minimizes any chances of escape. This is a huge plus, especially if you’ve ever spent 10 minutes chasing a rogue cricket around your room. The design is also more sanitary and less stressful for both the keeper and the crickets.
