I have a super large fishtank that will soon be empty. instead of selling it I have considered setting up a breeding cricket zone to feed out baby chams.
but i've read this isn't to easy to do, anyone on here breed your own crickets? how easy is it? do they smell?
etc

Any help is needed

What do you guys use as a substrate and a laying substrate?

Their natural nesting material is damp soil, so damp compost or something similar would be fine.

eco earth. if you use soil from the garden theres a risk of mites

Thanks guys, eco earth is what I have ready.

Planning to put two bulk bags of adult crickets into a LARGE really useful box with no substrate but with egg cartons and bog roll tubes in, then about 4 cricket tubs half filled with eco earth. My plan is that every couple of weeks I will remove the tubs, put lids on them and leave them to hatch out crix, which can be reared in the tubs for a while then put into a separate tub.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Gary

i have bred crickets black and brown and they easy,
i got my in a little tub/tank with nothink on the floor a fish food lid and i put tissue in that flat and wet it so its damp enough for them to drink from, and i put some food as long as they got somewhere damp to lay the eggs and food and warm they will breed, make sure they all adult to breed.
and i check eveyday under the tissue and put the tissue with egg into a tub with not many air hole and spary it everyday that then go on top my lizard tank sparying everyday and in less than 2 week they hatch. i got a thread about this ill see if it on here.

the crix will hatch daily and run around the whole tub so removing the laying box wouldnt work. i raise the until there big enough to catch and then take them out and put them seperate
