Hello everyone...



For a while my african fat tailed gecko would not accept much of anything for food except crickets. In the past few weeks, I've discovered she will eat a few different worms & beetles.



...but apparently, the crickets laid eggs, and now my terrarium is filled with little nymphs.



I checked up on her ( she rarely comes out of hiding ) and she is doing well. She tries from time to time to eat them, but they are so small she gets confused.



Normally, I'd just empty out the terrarium and get rid of them, clean everything. But this terrarium doesn't have carpet, tile, or even bark chips. It's a mixture of sand, soil, moss, and fine bark chips. I know it's not exactly expensive stuff, but I don't have any more to make new ones out of...so I'd like to try to just remove the crickets.



Does anyone have an idea of how to kill, remove, or control them?



I do not want them to bother the gecko....as I've heard they can do.



Thanks,

Zeb
