you can get little breeder tanks to house them in then make sure you have plenty of food and you should do ok you can also put water gel in there for them to drink save them drowning.

try a small rub from a local household shop, then put SMALL holes in the roof with a hot screwdriver.

Hey iv bn breeding crickets for a few years now with many tried and tested methods but il tell u wots worked best for me and gave me the most crickets in return. il need to split it over a few messages.
Breeding box- I use the cheap plastic storage boxes from Asda they r deep enuf that they cant get out wen the lid is off. Obviously drill some air holes in the lid.
Substrate- I find it easier to use newspaper or paper towel, u need something absorbant plus makes the crickets easy 2 c.

Foob bowl-I use a flat lid from a plastic tub-cut it in 2 and put 1 at either side of the box, i dampen a few cotton wool pads and put these on the lid that sorts out their water which i have had more success with than the gell.
Hides- 2 keep them happy u need lots of shelter for them 2 hid in, I use egg boxes, and cut them 2 size. If u r breeding alot u can buy like 70 egg trays for under £10 or collect 1's from ur bought live tubs as long as they rnt 2 dirty
