I keep crickets in a bowl for convenient feedings for my Oscar and tree frog. But they chirp. If I keep them cold enough or alter their air in some way, will they stop chirping? I know it would be effective, but I don't want to rip off their legs. That's just plain torture. Is there anything else I can do to shut them up?

The males do this to get the women. I didn't notice the sound when I used to breed crix. Can you put them in a closet, basement.

Actually, it is my wife. I've noticed she chirps faster when it's warmer in the house. I'll put her in the basement. Thanks.

crickets don't use their legs to chirp, grasshoppers do. So tearing off legs won't help ;)
