Hello and welcome to my cricket breeding guide! This is for those of you who have to drive far or dont want to spend a fortune buying 100 crickets a week.... so lets get started!
Materials needed:
- 1 Large kricket keeper or 40 gallon Storage container
- 1 piece of sponge
- digital probe thermometer - OPTIONAL!!
- Uth to go on the side or under tank - OPTIONAL unless you have a cool room.
- 3 smaller containers to hold food and the water sponge and egg material
- depending on how many crickets you have toilet paper rolls and egg cartons
-at least 30 or so adult crickets
Instructions:
1.set up the toilet paper rolls and egg cartons in one side of the container... stacked side by side, just make sure there close.
2. put some water at the bottom of the water container then wet the sponge and put it in the container
3.add the food container( i use ground up dog food they love it)
4.add some soil or sand, moss, etc....to the egg container and moisten but not soaking! then add it to the middle of the container.
last but not least add your crickets!
5. you should see crickets laying eggs in the container for eggs and maybe even the sponge or food...they do it everywhere!
6.after about 4 days take the egg material container out and put it into a another container that can be kept warm and has good airflow
7.after about 2 weeks....say hello to the new crickets! just feed them like you would adults.
8.Rinse and repeat!
tips:
-if you hear chirping....your in buisness, your crickets are going at it!
-make sure your soil has no fertilizer or insectisides in it
-make sure to keep the egg material container moist, if it dryes out your screwed
-keep both containers at about 85 degrees for optimal breeding and hatching
