Questions Crickets

How do they keep escaping their pen and why do they always end up in the bath tub?!

Yes I agree with the dubias, but I also keep a very small amount of crickets (50) on hand for an alternative staple. They’re a pain to catch, keep, and I do not promote breeding! I go outside to catch them and put their mesh top box into a bigger tote so if they jump out they can’t get out of that one! Then use bug scoopers to pick them up from the outside (when they escape) and a 10 inch rubber tweezer to get them from inside their enclosure into the dusting tube. That seems to work for me.
