Can anyone give info about setting up a leo cage?
Also info on the cricket cage to, and what do you put inside the calcium bowl?

Some basic info can be found on my care sheet here:

Also The Kricket Keepers that you can buy at most pet stores are pretty nice for housing crickets. And as far as the Calcium gos you simply put in Calcium which you can find at any pet store that sells reptiles.

lol well, 1st kuz i thought it was funny, u put calcium in a calcium dish, try just calcium w/o d3 kuz u can supplement the crickets w/ the d3 and let the leo regulate there own calcium, look up a caresheet for basic setup info, also i built my own cricket tank kuz i'm sick of running down to the petstore every couple of weeks i finally established there colony and there very annoying but its worth it, the cricket keeper is a good item for a begginer but try investing in building a tank of ur own like 14$ max in materials start small w/ like 50 crickets then go bigger untill u reach 200 then u can maintain a colony Good luck!

my advice is to breed mealworms or any other kind of worm for that matter. I hate crix with a passion and go buy what i need only and give them as a treat.

However this may confuse you but Leolover has a great insect breeding care sheet. I followed it and finally have a colony of mealworms going

well for the crix i use one of those 25 gallon rubbermaid tubs for like 5 bucks at kmart. it allows plenty of room for the crix and u can put up to 2000 crix in and they will live with the proper feeding and water. the rubbermaids work great if u order crix off line or if u buy a few hundred crix from the pet store. since i strted using rubbermaids the crix have been living longer.
