Cricket's escaping...Help!

I have an exo-terra 18x18x18 terrarium with a rock wall, and the crickets just keep escaping though a cap between the screen top and the back. What can I do save removing the rock wall?

Re: Cricket's escaping...Help!

i just noticed something similar at a petstore today. He shoved the space with a little bit of what looked like synthetic stuffing. Just shove something in there to fill the gap.

You could put your critter in a temp enclosure, and use a bead of silicone to build up your rock wall, so the lid fits on snuggly
