Questions & Answers

Is it possible to use it to sift soil?

No, the holes in it are simply too small to hold soil.

Is there a small opening on the top that this only opens from?

It can only be accessed through the top hole.

Is it possible for the crickets to emerge from the top of the building?

Yes! You put the crickets in the bottom cap, and then shake out a single cricket at a time with the top cap on the funnel side.

What is the mesh size?

55 mesh

I needed this for my working dogs, so I put source inside
5/5

It's well-made, with no cheap materials. I'm very pleased. I plan to purchase more in the future.

That is not the case for us
3/5

This is a great idea, but it only works if you have a lot of crickets. The holes provide an escape route for small children.

What a waste of time! The first use of this item resulted in it breaking
3/5

The cylinder's bottom lid and body are both made of brittle, hard plastic. The lid snaps on and off, and it's so tight that the cylinder's body cracked and broke off the first time it was used. It's a complete waste of time. My old one had a softer plastic lid that I had no trouble using hundreds of times. This manufacturer is clueless when it comes to plastics.

Cockroaches will love this. If you like to fish with crickets, this is the product for you.

6 inches isn't enough
3/5

This item is 12 inches in length, not 6 inches as stated in the description.

It's a great idea, but the end is made of plastic, making it nearly impossible for the crickets to climb out; instead, they just slide down the tiny ramp, attempting to escape

It's fine, but it's not suitable for children
3/5

My three-year-old grandson mistook it for a pencil and attempted to open it; however, when he saw what was inside, he tossed it in the trash can.
