Cri

[Lornak]

Hi Guy's I am new to all this and was wondering if it's possible to lull the crickets to sleep by putting them into the fridge beforehand it's just I have an 8 week old and have the small crickets and it's difficult to get them out of the box I would love any help that anyone can give me thanks

Yes you can.  But put them into the freezer for around 5 minutes... That'll do the trick.  Remember to remove any feeders not eaten by your baby.

Hope this helps.

5 minutes is wayyyyyy too long.
It'll take less than 30 seconds to put them in a hyper dormant state.  But actually, it's best for baby to chase his prey.
If your problem is catching the crix to feed your dragon, place a paper towel tube (the cardboard roll inside) in the cricket container and shake the ones that crawl inside into a cup where you can easily dust them with calcium.
