So just a tip for any one you can use a test tube for water. 1 fill test tube with water 2 push a cotton ball in tube where it is tight. (Try to keep air bubbles to a minimum. Also its a good idea to make certain that it dose not drain from the tube when upside down.) 3 lay tube on its side and be sure the cotton is fully wet. watch as the crickets drink from the cotton

in addition, you can also take a jar get a lid that is slightly bigger than the jar opening place a few cotton pads down in the lid, and secure it with rubber bands or whatever holds it tight to avoid leaking. I have used this many times in my crickets and mill worm farm it seems to work best for crickets as they don't disturb the cotton pads.

Gio G not all crickets come in bags

I think keeping insects as pets is neat, and crickets have to be a great candidate. They make sound, hatch as miniature versions of adults(instars), easy to keep track of in their later life stages, and are a delight to observe. The first species I had, were the usual House Crickets. A long domesticated cricket, with average characteristics and somewhat passive in nature. But, my favorite would be Banded Crickets. They have come onto the market not too long ago. Their defining features, would be longer antennae, and dark bands around their body and legs. Just as passive as House Crickets, from my time observing them. Both types can eat dog food, having raised a new generation fully off of dog food and a water tray(basically, a wet paper towel in a reptile bowl to prevent drowning). They grew normally, but, I did observe something noteworthy. These new adults, in contrast to their parents, had more winged individuals. To clarify, I know males have noise making wings. But, both males and females in this generation had large wings that could enable them flight. Be it the dog food, or, the environment. These dog food raised crickets seemed healthier, and casualties from stress, disease, and cannibalism were minimal, or, nonexistent. What I hypothesize, is these crickets must be well fed and had little to no nutrient deficiency. I’m not saying the dog food brand was great, but, it shows this generation had a better start than their more, “unfortunate” parents’ start. I believe getting the crickets young, would ensure their development is secured early. Making the likelihood of winged adults almost certain. I had great interest in bugs and plants from a young age. And, I hope to inspire others to try raising crickets or other bugs for fun, or, to discover any similar physical manifestations that I have.

Thank's for posting this informative video. I have backyard chickens, In the summer months I catch those giant water bugs, the chickens eat them like popcorn. However in the winter there are no bugs in my yard. I usually buy the dry crickets for the winter months but I think there are not much nutrients in them. Your video hands down is the best how to for growing crickets I have seen.

I came here coz out of nowhere a cricket was in my room. Turned my lamp off, was about to sleep and this critter started chirping. I have had plants in my room (quite alot) for a little over a year now and i know it is said that plants attract lives. But I have never seen a single cricket before plus, I live in a 27th floor of an apartment.

I was breeding crix for animals and then ended up breeding them for a research project at the university. This is similar to my process. My steps were: 1. I also used vermiculite as the base and I also used moistened vermiculite in the plastic laying container. Over the laying media, I fit a close fitting layer of wire mesh with a 3-5mm openings. This kept the crix from burrowing into the laying media and making a mess, they simply laid the eggs through the mesh into the damp vermiculite with their ovipositors. 2. I changed out the laying containers every week and stacked the relidded individual weeks in groups so same week hatched together. When I saw pinheads, all that week lays were boxed up together. 3. They were fed cheap fish flakes, chopped carrot and watered using large testtubes stopped with cotton wool. The project required aged matched cohorts of virgin females and males introduced at different ages so they had to be sorted through into sexes once they developed visible genitalia etc so this was the best way to breed this native species of cricket. I figure this would work for nearly any species though. Edit: they had egg cartons to hide in too.

Then discard the vermiculite, clean and refill and reuse for the next laying cycle. Keep the pinheads fed and warmish, with carrot for moisture until you use them up. You will need a few large containers and a few more small ones to keep the cycle going. I use to cut out the middle of the larger lids and glue on insect mesh otherwise the containers get too wet and your young crickets will die and stink.

For fluids for the mealworms I keep, I use the blue watergel things for them, I assume for crickets they are good too.

6:14 IM FREEEEE!!!!! MUAHAHAHAA

I have an idea for no run away, and a good splitting 50/50 idea :)) Maybe you can have them custom made, or do it yourself. You could package the boxes so theres 2 sections, place a divider in the center, but do not have the divider come all the way to the top, leaving a gap between the top of the divider and the top of box, glue tiny cardboard protruding tabs 2 on each side,all level with the divider, making sure all 4 walls have tabs, tabs only come out far enough to support a top piece of cardboard that will cover the top, almost as if its a ''false bottom'' the top cardboard cover will have 2 holes cut out, one over the center of each chamber, but placed near the edge of box for ease of sliding and moving crickets out of box. you then cut a toilet paper roll in half or as high until you reach the height of the top of the box. These "tunnels" will have a plastic cap, or plastic wrap tie held with rubber band. Essentially you will just have to open the main box send out from you, you will look inside and be presented with a flat piece of cardboard with 2 tunnel systems protruding equally spaces from the edges, with the covers over them. Sides of box still has mesh for breathing. All your customers will have to do is decide to either open both tunnel vents at the top and pour them like a funnel into the container, or they can choose to open one at a time, for placement of 50% into each container. Then either tap the box upside down till they are all out, leave it like that for them to come out in their own time, also this may eliminate any stressors from the travel. Not sure if this works for you, but I would have a funner time doing this if they were not jumping all over the place frantically, I envisioned this after watching your video, I loved it by the way, very informative. Thank you.

Great video. You did a great job! Thank you! You are appreciated!

Best video i have seen so far thanks👍🤗

Thought the title said chickens, this helps too though.

Super helpful video - thanks!

this was awesome, very informative. Thank you.

This was really helpful all my crickets kept dying. I have got a red eyed tree frog

I have white’s tree frogs. What would I be able to feed the crickets so that they are properly gut loaded for my frogs?

I'm starting breeding mealworms and crickets for breeding for my bearded dragon, and I'm using lettuce for my crickets for their food as well as water, the mealworms will take potatoes and oranges as well for vitamin C for your pet, now for frogs I assume this will work as well

Thank you for sharing ❤. Normally a business would not do this as they would rather you continously buy from them instead of you being able to do for yourself. I have alot of chickens and plan to buy 1k each of crickets, soldier flies, & superworms from you this week so I can try to start breeding my own.

I use a microfiber duster (the kind with the dreadlocks, lol) for water distribution. I put it in a dish and soak it every day. The crickets love it. I give them orange slices, too, for a treat.

My lizards love crickets!!!

Could you put buffalo beetles with crickets since they like to die off a lot? I was thinking the beetles would eat the dead ones and like reduce the smell

Mealworms and their beetle forms are good for that. They eat decaying plants and animals in the wild and are good for eating the dead bugs. Keep in mind though that this may mean needing a little extra food for everyone, but if offering a little extra is worth not having the smell or dead ones in the way, then I recommend it. Tbh I use mealworms to keep the bioactive enclosures for my hissers clean and I almost never worry about the uneaten food going bad. Idk if this is still a relevant question for you but I figured I'd answer just in case.

@@CosmoniYT Perhaps, but usually the pupating stage is long enough to allow for a good grace period of removing them before they overbreed.

I live in an area with hard water with a high PH, so I use water treatment to get rid of the chlorine & a PH reducer to keep it from being toxic to the crickets and my other critters. For moister source which will not drown your pinheads - slices of squash seem to be a win. The pinheads need an egg crate to boot. I save my water beads for the adults crickets and my mealworms. The crickets are actually good with rabbit fodder food, like the Dubai roaches. Thank you for the video, I will see what I can do to start breeding my own. I've heard it is not easy due to how dry we are around here in NV. Here is hoping it works out.

Awesome video, I’m on board for my chickens👍

Any tips on keeping flies away? I’ve tried this before and I had flys and their larvae in my bin 😭

@TheCritterDepot

You can try placing a screen over their bin. That would keep them from entering the bin. But a better method would be to have a small desk fan blowing across the bin. Flys will avoid fans because it's difficult for them to maneuver. And just practice good husbandry: clean out dead crickets and finished food products.
