Abstract
Apparatus for storing and dispensing crickets, as food, to a live reptile. A container possesses a smooth inner surface. A hollow tube, whose length exceeds the height of the container, possesses a smooth outer surface and an inner surface suitable for grasping by crickets. A top for the container has an interior aperture for accommodating the tube in a substantially-vertical attitude when inserted. A lateral aperture at the bottom of the container provides ingress for crickets into the tube while a cap at the top assures that the crickets cannot escape.
