Why would you take the adults out of the enclosure?! The adults stay in for breeding - except males, some of them are taken out to be fed off to stop over-crowding of males.

What sizes of tubs are those in the silent cricket post? Those big black ones. And where do you get them?

They're cold water storage tanks available in B&Q, they're around 3.5' long by I think 2' wide and 2.5' tall.

They're pretty pricey although you can happily house a tens of thousands of hatchlings or around 6-8000 adults in one

What about fruit flies? I'd like some tips on how to harvest them without infesting my house. Same for how to retrieve the ones that climb to the top of the animal's cage and are out of reach

Just a quick question, I have a large setup of dubia, but what is the minimum they can be split into to start a colony?

This is a really good quality guide ! One question though. There appears to be lamps above the tanks. Have you measured the basking temperature ? I would guess the crickets might be able to get warmer than 30c with the lamps in place ?
