Tweezers.

Or let them loose in tent time & let her hunt.

The "hunt" always ends so quickly :/

I have trouble catching them. After the fiasco of turning them all loose in the tub with the boys last wee, I haven't given them anymore. I'm wondering if you shake the bag/box if it will stun them long enough to grab them with tweezers? I have no qualms about picking them up but just a thought?

I bought one of these.

It works great. The crickets climb up into the black tubes to get away from light and all you have to do is pull a tube out and shake the crickets out into the cage.

Edit: If you get one, make sure to buy LARGE crickets. Some of the small crickets may escape thru the vent holes.

That is too cool! I don't mind touching bugs but this keeps you from having all the crickets jump away or out of the container when trying to catch them!
