I'm learning to breed crickets for my chooks who love 'em. I'm going to take your ideas into mind and hope they work. I have a few questions / issues I need advice with. 1. ) are carrots a good substitute for oranges? my crickets love them, plus they hold moisture 2. ) how can i discourage crickets laying eggs in their water? their water has a sponge that keeps them from drowning, but they lay eggs in it... will they stop if i add the containers of soil? 3. ) how often do you recommend changing/restocking food & water? i might've missed it in the video if you mentioned it (sorry if i did) Great video though, I'll tell you how it goes
Howdy Crickets will lay anywhere moist unfortunately but give them a rub of dirt and they should use that more. Carrots work fine. Water and food replacement depends on lots of different factors. Obviously replace the water when needed and just make sure any dry food doesn’t get wet and go off. Carrots depending on conditions will probably only last a few days. But it’s best you check each day until get an idea on what works in your setup
They need warmth but you don’t have to use a heating lamp. You could use heat cord a heat pad. It depends on the ambient temperature in the room obviously and what temperature fluctuations you get.
I used vermiculite, doesn't get rid of the smell. I have dead crickets everyday. Thought the ones I bought were sexually mature. Out to the 430 still alive about 10 of them are sexually mature.
Obviously there is non-toxic organic clump cat litter as well as toxic cat litter. I keep forgetting that a lot of people don’t have common sense and don’t understand NOT to use toxic products. I will try and update this video when I get time and make it a little bit more user-friendly for people that find it difficult to understand. Thanks for bringing that to my attention.

@@paulstingray thanks so much! sorry for the late reply
Can a moist paper towel work as good substrate?
It will get eaten by the crickets kinda fast
Okay thx
Great video

Thank u God bless

What do you do if your crickets outgrow the size of your reptile?
I don’t have that issue
But you could definitely sell them locally or even freeze them and sell them.
Feed it the reptile XD
COOL . 😁✌
Yup so Glad it worked!
Yoooo I have a fish tank out the front🤣 I was looking for answers on what I can use for the 400 I just got 😂 so thank for the help
So easy!!!
@@paulstingray literally just got 400 dropped off and was like shit I got no where for them 😂
😂😂😂
I see a lot of people use a heating lamp, is that necessary for this or could you do without?

It might be an airflow issue
DONT USE CAT LITTER!! it may have chemicals in it that are bad for the animal you are feeding the crickets too
@@paulstingray Sure, perfumes, and maybe some other junk.
@@paulstingray in the video you said you can use cat litter...
