The Exo Terra Cricket Pen Small is a perfect solution for housing and dispensing live crickets with ease. This all-in-one cricket care system features a secure, ventilated lid that can be removed effortlessly, along with a user-friendly cricket dispensing mechanism. It comes equipped with a food and water dish to ensure the crickets are well-fed and hydrated.
Designed for convenience, the Exo Terra Cricket Pen provides dark tubes that crickets naturally gravitate towards as hiding spots, making them easy to dispense. The tubes stay in place even when the lid is off, minimizing escapes and simplifying access.
For extended cricket vitality, consider “gut loading” them or offering a small piece of apple as a food source!

Use the Exo Terra Cricket Pen as a carrier or storage container. Slide a tube out, lower the flapper to block escapes, and if necessary, cover the tube’s opening during transport to the terrarium. Tap lightly to release the desired number of crickets. Avoid removing multiple tubes at once to prevent escapes.
Maintain crickets in a ventilated space at 21-23 °C (70-75 °F) with low humidity. Avoid direct sunlight and drafts, and keep the pen clean and dry. Provide high-quality cricket food and water gel in the included shallow dishes. If gel isn’t available, use a damp sponge, but avoid plain water to prevent drowning.
Regular cleaning is essential. Clear out debris and waste, then rinse the entire pen with hot water. Avoid soaps or detergents, as residues can be harmful or fatal to crickets.
