How do you get them out and into a bag to feed the dragons with out them jumping out/all over the place?

there is no doubt beardies love crickets...no matter what I feed mine he still goes ape sh!t over them and so I don't cut them out (as much as I would love to).
Not only that but mealies are hard to dust...nutitionally they are not as healthy as crickets either.
I keep mine (crickets) in a big home depot storage bin with about 5 or 6 paper towel holders--you know the card board thing that's left after you finish the PT's-- (I order like 2000 bugs at a time ).
When it's time to harvest I take one of the paper towel holders (which is always filled with crix) then I dump the bugs into a big plastic pitcher and dump the pitcher into the cages....
Keep a heat source in there or they will die...also ventilation is required or the moisture will kill them.
I cut the top out of my storage conatainers and put an old sheet across the top using the plastic frame to hold it in place--
-there in a nut shell is my method.
Good luck!
