What is funny is that is how you are suppose to ship crickets and anyone who has bought large amounts of crickets knows that.
Source: Have recieved many shipments of crickets in a box.
How is one meant to contain the crickets while opening the box?
Typically you have a place to contain the crickets until you feed the crickets to something, you open the box over the container and dump them in.
Why can’t they be placed inside a slightly smaller box within the bigger one?
Because it’d be the same when you open the slightly smaller box so that’s why it should be shipped in a small box inside of a slightly bigger box inside of another slightly bigger box to solve that problem.
The real solution here is to put each cricket in an individual box inside the larger one.
Presumably they would write “WARNING OPENING THIS BOX WILL RELEASE HUNDREDS OF CRICKETS” on it
Just throw a ‘c’ on it so people know.
What do you do with crickets?
You feed them to things like frogs, spiders, etc.
