Default Cricket Breeding Setups?

Hi all.

Do any of you have photos of your cricket breeding setups?

Would a LARGE really useful box work well?

Any other suggestions? I am thinking of breeding them for my chameleons.

Many Thanks

Gary

Thanks for that, do you not have problems with them escaping?

So you just add a load of adult crickets and leave them to it? What about separating into different sizes?

Many Thanks

Gary

no not had any probs. just make sure the tub is tall enough so they cant jump tyo the top.

i just added half a tub of the largest crix available and there were eggs in the first 2 days

when the babys were born it was a right to try to catch them but when i did i sperated them but they just died so i now leave them in the breeding box and they do fine and grow quite quick
