This cricket pen is awesome. I was reading some reviews that said the crickets escaped. Don’t see how that is possible. I’ve had mine for 2 weeks and, have 20 small crickets and not one has escaped! Love the sponge water dish, I watch them sit on it and drink. They drink a lot, remember to keep the sponge wet. The tubes are awesome! Makes feeding my salamander, so simple. Going to order another one so I can have something to put them in while cleaning out each pen. Highly recommend this. There was a small crack down the side, when I got it but I just covered it with clear packing tape. Hasn’t caused any issues.

I love Chewy and have always had 100% success. I ordered a cricket keeper. It was cracked. I messaged Chewy, they immediately shipped me another one. Got it the next day. Didn’t open it until yesterday when we bought new crickets. It’s also cracked. We decided duct tape would be the best approach and we’ll make it work.

a great way to house your crickets. the black tubes make feeding your animal very easy.

It okay for mealworms, okay for like 10 Dubais and maybe okay for crickets idk I don’t breed crickets I just bought this for mealworms

Don't bother. Crickets can basically walk right out of this thing. After losing a whole batch of "small-medium" crickets overnight, I taped up most of the top. Went back to local pet store and bought more crickets. Half escaped. Put this box inside a 2-gallon Ziploc bag with the top unzipped but, raised all the way up. It was a pretty good solution. I have 4-7 crickets in the bag every morning when I get up. I dump them back into the box every day and do it all over again the next day. I have found crickets all over my dang house for months bc of this "keeper". It was knocked off the kitchen counter by our kitten yesterday and the side now has a long crack in it.

Found two huge cracks in the plastic after taking it out of the box.

I had my crickets in a lidded bucket before. Was a little difficult to scoop 1 with a cup! The little nasty buggars would jump up my arm while I tried to get just 1 out! This container is awesome!!! I just take a tube and hang it over my frog's cage and tap the tube like ashing a cigarette and one falls in! Simple! I love it! Also very easy to clean up.

The item came to me damage...can't used it. So disappointed.

I was so excited to start getting my crickets 50 at a time. Only 2 or 3 even went up the tubes and they all died in just a few days. I went and bought 50 again...same thing. I cleaned it out and put it away. I guess I'll just buy them 12 at a time and just put them in with my lizards. I kept bottled water and the yellow gelled food in there for them too but it seemed to be a lost cause. I'm disappointed and done.

I was pretty excited to have this new pen just as my new shipment of half inch crickets came in. They really did go right into the tubes! Seemed all good. Then I checked on them later and... Disappointment. I had to chase a few escape artists around my daughter's room. What is the point of all the great extra features if it does not fulfill it's prime function of keeping the crickets in? I had to run to Lowe's and buy a bin, modify the lid, and hot glue on some aluminum mesh to keep these bugs out of my daughter's room. What a waste. I did use the food and water dishes in the new bin though!!
