Lee's Kricket Keeper replacement tubes

[Nrupaw]

I use one of those Lee's Kricket Keepers (large) http://www.amazon.com/Lee-20078-Kricket-Keeper-Large/dp/B0002DHAWQ to house my crickets and it gets the job done. How ever the clear plastic caps on the tubes have all cracked. I can't seem to find replacement tubes anywhere online.

does anyone have a link to a website where i can order large replacement tubes. I can find small sized tubes online but i need large ones.

thanks!

Not sure you will find them online. I know i know you can get the same sized pvc pipes @ home depot and cut them to size and cap them off. This also may be cheaper than buying replacement tubes. Just be sure to scratch the inside of the tube so the crickets can climb up. Otherwise they won't climb into the tubes. Hope this helps. Best of luck.

I agree the PVC route will definitely be cheaper, especially in the long run, and last longer.

If you go the PVC route don't bother gluing the caps. You can just push them on and they will stay in place. Only time you really need to use glue is for water tightness and large assembly projects like light frames, etc.

Good luck.

Will look into that but hoping just to find the pre made ones somewhere. They shouldnt be more than 5-6 bucsk

You miss the point. We want the clear caps so that we can see if there are any crickets in the tube and how many.
