What is funny is that is how you are suppose to ship crickets and anyone who has bought large amounts of crickets knows that.

This is a place to pitch goofy million dollar ideas that you had in the shower, as you were falling asleep, or during a fever dream. Think of it is as shitty Shark Tank.
The usual rules apply:

No bigotry

Be nice to each other

How is one meant to contain the crickets while opening the box?
Typically you have a place to contain the crickets until you feed the crickets to something, you open the box over the container and dump them in.
Why can't they be placed inside a slightly smaller box within the bigger one?
Because it’d be the same when you open the slightly smaller box so that’s why it should be shipped in a small box inside of a slightly bigger box inside of another slightly bigger box to solve that problem.
The real solution here is to put each cricket in an individual box inside the larger one.
This guy ships!
Presumably they would write "WARNING OPENING THIS BOX WILL RELEASE HUNDREDS OF CRICKETS" on it
Just throw a ‘c’ on it so people know.
yeah i'm not sure what they're on about, they should very very very obviously be contained inside a plastic box inside the shipping box, just rawdogging them in the shipping box cannot be fucking legal.
What do you do with crickets?
You feed them to things like frogs, spiders, etc.
I think I just thought of a birthday present for my GF.
Nah, send this to the people you hate.
