Breeding crickets.

Does anyone breed crickets and can help me out?

Hi there
I breed my own ****roaches. I found it much easier than crickets.

 

[ryan johnson]

I've never thought about thay

 

[Christell Erasmus]

If you want I can tell you how to breed roaches. I tried breeding crickets and failed terribly.

 

[ryan johnson]

Ok. I might want to know how

Hi there.
Okay this is what I have done with my ****roaches. Since I only have a few tarantulas my breeding is on a small scale. You can use a 5L ice cream container. Just take some egg containers and place it in your container. Do not cover the container since ****roaches gives of a gas that could kill them. To prevent your roaches from escaping smear a thin layer of vaseline at the top of the container. They wont be going anywhere. Feed them some dry dog or cat food and fresh fruit like oranges, grapefruit or apples. They need vitamin C from the fruit to breed and also the moisture from the fruit. Hope this helps you .

[Christell Erasmus]

There are quite a few roach sp. that are easy to breed as feeders. I keep colonies of B. Dubia, G. portentosa, and B. latteralis to use as feeders and also have 2 other "pet" species that im raising up nymphs of to breed

Hi there.
In my colony I have a few different breeds of ****roaches which I find works well because then you have a good variety of sizes.
