[QUOTE="Mr. P, post: 156349, member: 27641"] To be honest, unless you have a large enough container and all the perfect conditions then crickets are not worth keeping. Crickets smell, they are noisy and they don't last very long. Unless you plan on creating the perfect enclosure then only get enough crickets that you can feed off in a week or two or they will die off. Crickets have a 8-12 week life cycle so by the time you get them they only have a few weeks left unless you plan and know how to breed them, not worth the hassle. Now roaches, that is a different story. They live 1-2 years, easy to keep, easy to breed, no smell, no noise and much better nutrition then crickets. [/QUOTE]
