Answer 1

Get a big plastic tub or a box, and put all the crickets inside. If you don't already have one, go to a pet store and buy one of those little fish nets (they are usually blue or green), for scooping up gold fish from the aquariums. With the little net, carefully scoop up a small amount of crickets (try to count out how many could be in the net), and then place them into another box. If there are more than 25, just take some out. Or you could even scoop one out at a time into the other box. That may even be easier, and you could just use a deep spoon or something.

Here is a picture from an online pet store, of the net I am talking about:

Good luck :-)

Answer 2

Petland sells pre boxed crickets by 25. They are good for up to 7 days.

Answer 3

Haha, 2 points....

Seriously, don't tell people not to do something and expect them not to.

As for counting crickets, I recommend putting them all in your mouth, that way you can spit them into a bag, one at a time.
