Storing

[baseball2k26]

What do you guys use to store. Im not going to breed but i most likely will buy ****aroaches, mealworms, superworms, grasshopers, ect. I know meal worms go in the fridge in a container. What about the rest? Grasshopers in an insect holding cage you can buy at any store but what about the rest.

And also with grasshopers, how would i get them out / switch the food / put in crystal water. Wouldnt they jump out during this.

I keep all my feeders in appropriately sized containers- mealworms in a huge, shallow container with 2" of wheat bran. I keep roaches in a 20 liter sterilite container. I have another container I occasionally keep crix in and it's a big rubbermaid tub with a hand-made screen top. I don't feed hoppers, but my guess is to move quick! Make sure to gut load your feeders-especially the mealworms. Take them out of the fridge and let them eat wheat bran and water crystals for 24 hours before feeding to your geckos. And if you will be keeping waxworms, don't put them in the fridge, they will get sick and die.
