hi guys. need some help. i have 2 piece's of wood in with my leopard's, but the problem ive got is that the crickets seem to burrow in the holes. has anyone got any idea's on how i could stop this (and don't say take the wood out as this will end up happening) lol

thanks Lisa

There is no way of stopping the crickets hiding in the wood, Take the wood out and get a few largish round pebbles or stones if you must have decor ..... crickets cant hide if there isnt any holes or cracks

The alternative would be to take your leopards out of the viv and feed them crickets in another box.

or find a piece of mopani wood without holes, this usually does not have holes in it and can be quite smooth. Nice looking to and can be sourced from aquatic shops etc.

I always block up any cracks and holes in the various types of wood I used for decor and background with moss. If you take the time to really ram it in tight you'll have little problems with that. I never do...

I'd be tempted to get some clear silicon glue into the holes... You'll have to take them out to dry etc but should be fine in a day or two.
