I have a question about the crickets that i feed to my leo. Is there any way to have crickets without cleaning the cage every day?

what do you mean cleaning the crix cage? or the leo cage

If it sthe crix cage then no help my friend i personally hate crix and only give them as a treat, i buy like what i need in one feeding.

Yes the cricket cage.

yah there's no real way to get rid of the stench and nastyness
maybe someone here has some tips though

anyone?

I clean out the cage after i run out of crickets. I buy 1 dollar of crickets a week and keep them with pieces of egg carton and toilet paper rolls to hide in so you can dump them out. On the day i need more crickets i wash out the cage(and by the way i use a plastic critter keeper) so i have no problems. Hope this helps.

OMG a dollar worth of crickets.... god I wish.

I'm currently ordering 1000 or 2000 crickets WEEKLY (Mainly for my bearded dragons... but I have some leos that refuse to eat worms), as well as 1000 or 2000 Mealworms, occasionally some giant mealworms, and occasionally some wax worms. I just got done ordering 5000 mealies so I can start my own colony and see if I can cut down on the $100 of food I have to buy every month. I know I'm operating at a loss, but it's ok. I love having my little guys!

I clean my cricket container once a week (when I run out). Some hot water, a little disinfectant, and some srcubbing. And for the record... You CANNOT get rid of the smell.
