Unless the wall surface of the critter keeper is slick, given their small sizes pinheads can climb better than adults. Next time try using those slick packaging tape and tape around the inside top of your critter keeper. Also don’t leave the adults and pinheads in the same container because the adults will eat the small one.

Maintain warm temperature. If you leaved them in your room and your room’s temperature is in the 80s F then that should be sufficient. Feed them fresh lettuces or fresh fruits and maybe some dried oatmeal that are grinded up a bit.
