I buy enough crickets to feed my anole for about a week and keep them in a separate container which is cleaned at least twice a week. They have egg crate to crawl on and hide in and always have fresh food available and a water source that won't let them drown (as they are prone to do). I feed a couple of crickets twice a day.
Crickets are touchy and will die with the slightest provocation. Too much pesticide residue on their food will kill them, so I feed organic. Any soap residue can kill them, so I either rinse VERY thoroughly, or wash the container with water only. Any bug spray, cleaners, air fresheners, etc used near their enclosure can also kill them.
As long as they have ample food and moisture and no fumes, they do great.
