I currently have in my possession, approximately 12 feeder crickets that i am keeping for my lizard to eat. Unfortunately, they are very loud and I would very much like them to shut up. Does anyone know a good way of doing this, short of me feeding them to me lizard right now?
sorry, make that entymology. could a mod help me change that?
Keep them cool …?
Actually, it’s entomology. But carry on.
Changed as requested, but I think you really meant “entomology”.
right, thanks.
I wish I could help. I had a cricket in my garage last summer. My bedroom sits right over the garage and you could hear that son of gun all night. It made me nuts and I was glad when the weather got cold enough for it to move to the great beyond.
I think feeding them all to the lizard now is your best option. I don’t know what kind of lizard you have, of course, but our family acquired a bearded dragon lizard about a month ago, and she goes through fifteen or twenty crickets a day.
I have yet to find a way to keep crickets quiet. I keep mine in the boiler room next to the water heater, so they can be as noisy and smelly as they like without bothering me. Do you have a spare hall closet, by chance?
If you’d like to talk about the finer points of lizard and/or cricket maintenance, please feel free to email me. It’s always nice to find someone new to share the obsession with.
i actually have a bearded dragon too, its quite an interesting creature. I actually usually store my crickets in the garage, but its too cold now, and they would die if i put them out there. I didn’t think of the boiler room, though, thanks for the idea.
