Cricket Virus

[jubilee]

Purchased a box of crickets at the Reptile Expo two weeks ago and I am pretty sure they have the virus. There didn't seem to be anything wrong until two days ago. Huge die off during a 24-48 hour period. They flip to there backs and can barely move.

I haven't heard too much about the virus since the beginning of the year and this is my first batch to die off like this.

Anyone else still experiencing this?

We obviously stopped feeding these to our animals as soon as we noticed something seemed wrong. I read that it is not harmful to other animals, but I am a bit nervous. Any info is greatly appreciated.

Nothing you can do about it if they had the virus. Get new crickets from a different place...

Do I have to get rid of the cricket tanks I kept them in? (Glass ten gallon tanks)

I think if you just wash it with bleach it will be good to use it again.

Thanks, I will give it a good clean down and hope for the best, my next batch is on the way
