silly me. i ordered 500 crickets online as i was fed up of half dead ones from the shops.
thought they would come in little boxes, but no, a big bag of them arrived today ^_^
so i transferred them into a large box with food hides and water etc. but i did it in the kitchen.
so tonight i was cooking tea, walked in the kitchen just in time to spy a rogue cricket decide to take a bubble bath in the boiling spaghetti.
yum.
dont tell the kids.
i'm not wasting good spaghetti.
lol.

it's funny cos my son (who owns the geckos really) is scared of crickets :)
i dont have the heart to stop feeding them to the gecks though cos they seem to enjoy chasing them, plus i need them for the T's. dont think i will be buying them in batches of 500 again though... that was a bit of a miscalculation on my part! :D

About 3 minutes maximum or you'll get a lot of die-off among the smaller ones.
