Thanks! I did use the cup method for the crickets, all I had was a 24 oz clear one, but I maneuvered it right under where she was sitting on a branch, and she just leaned her head over the rim and aimed. I LOVE this method, no little chirping escapees wandering around my house! And I can always tell what she ate.

For my office critters (RETFs and a gecko), I have always used the premium blend advanced gutload from Cricketfood.com in addition to whatever fresh fruit and veggies I give the crickets. I'm bring half the bag home today so I can use for Joyce's crickets as well, along with the calcium fortified Cricket Quencher gel from Flukers. I've got phos-free calcium with D3 on hand, and it looks like the stuff without D3 is in the cricket gutload and the quencher, so would I'm assuming I won't need the calcium powder without D3 in addition???

I'll pick up a box and some sand after work today. Can I just get the sand at the pet store? Any particular kind? I've got some good size "pond rocks" that I used to cover the dirt under my big ficus tree so the cats would stop digging in it, so I'll use those over the dirt on Joyce's plant too.

Thanks for your help!!
