I kept beardies in them sucessfully for a few years. The only reason I stopped using them was because I needed to make something that would take up less space. I wasn't using live crickets so I can't give you anything about that issue. Maybe just feed in a large plastic bin. It is of course harder to heat then a closed cage, but I didn't find it to be terribly problematic. It will just take more wattage to acheive the proper temps. It is definetly a good option if you're looking for cheap cages. I found the zippers to be very high quality. The screens never ripped even if I didn't cut the nails of the beardie for weeks and the beardie was making me bleed. The only problem I had was when a light made contact with the screen. That promptly melted a hole into it.
