    Hello,

    I thought I had fed all my mealies to my leopard gecko, but apparently I didn't and I keep them in a kritter keeper and so far I have found 2 mealworm beetles in my room! One in my shower yesterday and one on my bed just now before I was about to go to sleep. Can anyone think of a way that they would be escaping?

    Hmm...well,insects can squeeze through really tiny spaces,i had this same problem with my crickets.You dont want round holes,get a critter keeper with really thin air holes,also make sure you close it all the way :D
    I hope this helps
