The Exo Terra Cricket Pen is designed to house, keep, and dispense live crickets easily. It comes with several key features to ensure proper care and easy feeding of the crickets:
Size: The small size of the Cricket Pen is 7 inches (length) x 5.5 inches (width) x 4.3 inches (height).
Dark Hiding Spaces: Crickets prefer dark spaces and will crawl into the tubes provided in the pen, which serves as hiding places for them.
Removable Lid: The pen has a well-ventilated lid that can be easily removed for access.
Easy Dispensing: The tubes with hiding spaces for crickets remain in position when the lid is removed, allowing for easy access and reducing the chances of cricket escape.
Cricket Care Kit: The Cricket Pen includes a cricket food dish and a water bowl, providing all the essentials for proper cricket care.
Capacity: The pen can hold up to 50 adult crickets.
Feeding: To feed the crickets, one of the dispensers is removed, and the crickets can be dispensed by tapping the tube.
Self-closing Dispenser Holes: The dispenser holes close automatically after feeding to prevent cricket escape.
Easy Top Access: The top of the pen can be easily opened for maintenance and care.
Directions for Use:
The Cricket Pen can be used as a carrier or holding pen for crickets.
To prevent escapes, slide the tube out of the Cricket Pen and drop the flapper down.
If transporting the crickets to a terrarium or feeder, cover the tube opening with one hand while moving it.
To release the desired number of crickets for feeding, remove your hand and lightly tap on the tube.
Only one tube should be removed at a time to avoid crickets escaping.
Cricket Care:
Keep the Cricket Pen in a well-ventilated room with a temperature range between 21-23°C (70-75°F) and low humidity.
Avoid direct sunlight and cold drafts.
Keep the pen clean and dry at all times.
Provide high-quality cricket food and water (gel) in the shallow dishes provided.
If water gel is unavailable, a moist sponge may be used, but water-only should be avoided to prevent drowning.
Cleaning Instructions:
Regularly clean the Cricket Pen by removing all debris and waste.
Clean the entire unit with hot tap water. Never use soap or detergent as it can be harmful or even deadly to the crickets.
Following these care instructions will help ensure that the crickets stay healthy and thrive in the Exo Terra Cricket Pen.
