What are you feeding them? They’re not getting enough food. If there’s no food available for them they’ll eat each other. You need to put food in there... Try potatoes and apples since those provide both food and water...

I’d go to the pet store and buy cricket feed/gutload and quench cubes though... Lasts longer and more convenient.

offer moisture, I find that they will eat other crickets to get the the juices inside... and you deffinatlyy need gutload so your pet is getting nutritiouse food.

Since I am housing at least 10 dozen crickets at a time(I have a 5 month old baby beardie whose hobby is eating!!) I put in those cricket cubes plus potato, carrots, and the scraps from what I’m feeding my other reptiles(maybe cucumber, zucchini, grapes, etc )and make sure to mist the cubes with water at least once in the day. I also sprinkle the food with calcium and vitamins. Never had a problem with them eating each other. Maybe trying to jump out when I take some out to feed the beardie.
