Setting Up

Assembly

Place the Feeder Tube Caps onto the end of the Feeder Tubes. Open the Feeding Tube Port Holes and place the Feeding Tubes into the Container Lid.

Attach the Feeding Tube Port Hole Covers to the Container Lid by gently pushing them into the notches above the Feeding Tube Port Holes.

Opening the Container Lid & Access Lid

Setting Up Continued

Before Use Continued

Rinse the Container and accessories with fresh tap water. Ensure all components are dry before assembling and adding crickets*.

Food & Water

Feeding reptiles a well-balanced and nutritious diet is essential for their health. Gut-loading crickets* before feeding your pet reptile is an excellent way to provide vital vitamins and minerals to your reptiles’ diet. Feeding crickets* nourishing foods such as carrots, dark leafy greens, apples and foods high in moisture or Insect Hydro Gel* will also help keep crickets* hydrated and help keep cleaning to a minimum. Gut Loading

Fill one or both Feeding Dishes with food before placing them into the Cricket Box. Place them so as to not interfere with the Feeding Tubes.

If you supply water directly for the crickets*, use a damp paper towel* in the dish or fill the dish with pebbles* before adding water to prevent the crickets* from drowning.

Only feed as much as the crickets* will eat for two days or less. Any longer after that, the food can rot, causing mould.

Setting Up Continued Adding Crickets*

Have the Container Lid ready with the Access Lid and the Feeding Tube Port Holes closed.

Quickly transfer the crickets* from the container you purchased them in, into the Cricket Box.

Immediately place the Container Lid onto the Container. Listen for the click of the clip onto the Container.

Ensure the Container Lid is firmly in place so crickets* can not escape.

Feeding Tubes

Insert the Feeding Tubes, into the Feeding Tube Port Holes.

The Feeding Tubes have two functions: 1. Act as hides for the crickets*, so they feel safe minimising stress. 2. Make it easy to feed your reptiles.

Dust the crickets* with a small amount of Reptile One Calcium Powder and D3* while the crickets* are in the feeding tube to make it easy to supplement your reptiles diet.

Cleaning Daily

Every other Day

O P

Check the condition of the crickets* daily.

Remove any food that has begun to mould and clean Feeding Dishes. Remove deceased crickets*.

Replace old food that remains in the dishes with fresh food.

Clean water dishes daily to prevent the build up of bacteria and ammonia.

Weekly

Remove the Feeding Tubes and shake out any crickets* hiding inside. Close the Feeding Tube Port Holes.

Open the Access Lid to remove the Feeding Dishes, then clean with a small amount of vinegar* on a clean cloth*. Refill the Feeding Dishes and place back into the Cricket Box. Close the Access Lid and re-insert the Feeding Tubes.

Use a piece of cardboard* to scrape up the debris from the bottom of the container.

Use a small amount of vinegar* on a clean cloth* or paper towel* to remove stubborn spots.

It is essential to do a total clean as frequently as possible. Do a complete clean weekly, but if there is a build up of moisture, faeces or mould it is recommended to do it sooner.
