I recently watched some youtube videos on skinks hunting down crickets and it looked like the reptiles had so much fun hunting down those insects...now I decided to get some of them for my indonesian skink Private. Recently he had his first full shed (at least since I have him) and I wanted to give him a little goodie for his great work.
Now I do have some memories of the past when I owned a leopard gecko. Some crickets managed to escape and shortly after we had them all over the place.
Now I REALLY don't want to have this issue again.
I've seen this Cricket Pen Box which seems to be pretty solid for extracting some crickets without risking an escape.
How do you feed your skinks?
On the online videos I saw some people putting the skinks into a big plastic bowl with crickets inside. Does this hold the crickets off from escaping? They can get really jumpy when facing their predator after all.
Any help or information on this would help me a lot in the decision process.
