OK help plz

when 1 cricket dies, it releases this poisonous gas that kills other crickets around it.Immediately remove the dead ones. give them moist dog food for food and for water, you can give them a wet paper towel.Also, put an egg carton in there for them to hide in and to reduce cannibalism

OK help plz

you can put dog food in a cup full of water and then wait at least 10 minutes or longer.after that, take out the dog food and then you will see that the food is bigger and softer(this will help the crickets not struggle with the hard food, and it will keep them hydrated).
