breeding crickets is pretty difficult and its really alot more practical to just buy them from a supplier. crickets breed best at a higher temp around 85 degrees...you will need a good number of adult female crickets as well as some male crickets (females have a large barb on their rear, males don't). the females will lay eggs in a tupperware container filled with damp peat moss or potting soil. keep the container warm, in the mid 80s.

OK, thanks. I have to get lots of crix in different size so i thought that breeding them would be better. Every three days or so (maybe more) i have to get 60 large and 30 small and its getting expensive. I'll do more research. Thanks anyways, Katie
