Exo TerraCricket Pen, Small

This is a great and very useful item for anybody with a pet that needs to be fed insects, particularly crickets. I use the large size it makes emptying out the plastic containers insects typically come packaged in the shops and also means that I can place plenty of fresh food for the crickets so they are gut-loaded before they are fed to my gecko. I tend not to use the trays supplied as I prefer to use fresh fruit and vegetables to feed the crickets but they are good for dried food, water gel or the sponge can be used if you need to use water but I found it tricky getting these out again when there were still crickets in the tank; you could maybe attach strings or something to pull them up to make it easy.The tank is easy to clean with few parts for muck to get stuck in but the tubes are best cleaned out using a bottle brush.I've had very few problems using this, the tubes are ideal particularly when you are adding a calcium or vitamin powder to your pet's food as all you do is shake a few of the insects out of the tube, into a plastic bag and add the powder and shake the bag out into your pet's tank. I don't remove the clear cap ends as I see no need to and there are no replacements if I lost or broke any of them if I were to remove them.Overall, this is great for people who have pets who need insects to eat but who prefer to keep the contact with the insects to a minimum and have few escapees!

This is a great product. I am please I bought this one of another popular brands. The big difference is a simple one....the direction the flaps open. This one has the hinges so the open into the Pen which means the instects cannot jump out. The other Pen you can get is hinged so it opens on the outside. Its nice and big and and I easily got 50 XL locust into it.All I need do is look down the tube through the clear caps and if there are any Insects in then you can tip some cricket powder in to coat the insect and then shake the critter into the Viverium. Highly recommended.The only niggle is the the hatch on the top is a little small so tipping in the Hoppers from a tub is tricky.

New to the reptile scene. Got this to hold locusts. Pretty good. Only issue.....plastic opening very brittle, split down middle when closing so be careful and one of the little doors that the black tube slides in through sticks open. Had to chase locusts around room. Apart from that does the job.

Good cricket enclosure but if you have small - medium crickets you may get escapees as the ventilation holes are quite big

Little small for what it is but it works and worth having

Do NOT put medium crickets in here, they WILL escape.Which begs the question, what is this even for if you can't put normal sized crickets in it!?As you can see from my photo, I have encased the tank into a mesh bag, and there are quite a few crickets roaming free inside this net. They weren't there before, so they must have come from the tank. Which means the 15 or so I have found all around my house before I put the tank into that net, also must have come from this awful live feed tank!

I’ve bought 2 because I am feeding a juvenile bearded dragon over 400 crickets a week. Will easily hold 250 in one of these containers. Also good for locusts although they will climb up the sides and the inside of the lid. The tubes are great as it is easier to take many insects out in one go at feeding timeEasy to handle and easy to clean.

The cage as functional item is a good concept. However there are small holes in the lid that allow them to escape. I place netting between the box and the lid to avoid them escaping.

Easy to use, works great for the crickets.

Handig krekelbak. De krekels moeten alleen niet te klein zijn. Dan ontsnappen ze! We hebben er genoeg rond lopen!! 😬🙄

Abbiamo appena preso un geco leopardino e non sapevo che anche i grilli ( cioè il suo cibo) avessero bisogno di cosi tante cure😅 avevo preparato un contenitore artigianale ma ogni pasto significava ritrovarsi qualche grillo in giro per casa😅. Trovo questo contenitore fantastico.A me è arrivato large con 4 tubi e una spugna. Nella descrizione viene indicata la tipologia small con due spugne ma il codice indicato si riferisce al large. Misure: lunga 26 alta 20 e larga 16 CMS

Boîte très pratique qui permet de servir les insectes vivants facilement sans les écraser avec une pince. Le plastique à l'air assez fin, il ne faut certainement pas la faire tomber à terre au risque d'avoir une fissure. Mais si on y fait attention elle convient parfaitement !

Love that it keeps the crickets contained as intended. The chute idea makes feeding time a breeze. Just be careful when trying to get crickets out as you can't see how many are about to fall out! Hahaha. My beardie got a huge dinner our first time using this.
