why the crap did you comment this on the video about breeding crickets?
thank u for this video. very helpful:)
How do you get all the pinheads out of the vermiculite container? mine have been hatching for a couple days now but they keep back in the vermiculite so I can't remove the vermiculite yet.
***** We provide egg crate for them to crawl out on.
Is it on to stack the crickets on top of each other when on the incubator
What size are the gray tubs you are using 20x15x7? How long do you leave in that gray tub before moving to clear tubs?
+Flight Crasher About that size. We leave it in for 2-3 days before moving it for incubation.
When do you remove the egg laying bin? 2 to 3 days or 1 or 2 weeks?
+SolidGoldShows After 1-2 days.
Dp you have a video of how you modified your freezer?
Marco Lucero I do not, but it was pretty simple. I installed an incandescent socket in the bottom, which held a ceramic heat emitter. That was hooked up to a thermostat mounted on the outside, with the probe on the inside of the freezer. There was also a fan at the bottom to keep air circulated.
Can I breed the crickets they sell at pets mart? If so should I buy the small crickets?
can I use a heat pad for incubation?
The containers for adults get stinky after they poop. How to deal with that
Can I work with 1/2” crickets?
Which light bulb do you use and how many watts?
That'lll depend on the size of your enclosure and the temperature of the room. Generally, we use a 50-100w.
Hey, I know im late but i was wondering can i keep the breeding bin in with the adults and let the baby crickets grow along with them? Please respond need help i know im late....
+Nicholas Campos You can, as long as plenty of food is present.
After the eggs are layed what happens with the adults in the same tank?
Thank you
What do I do if I have 5/8" sized crickets? Will they grow bigger into 3/4" crickets?
Yup. They'll just take a bit of time.
Ik am late as hell but Can we use soil for there breeding container?
I was wondering the same thing..
When Zack pulls out the egg laying bin he puts the paper towel on top and snaps the lid tightly shut. Don’t the eggs need ventilation during incubation?
Clearly not as shown but the paper towel between the lid does more than than keep the humidity inside, it gives the container ventilation. Don’t need an incubator for crickets btw. It’s dry as fuck in Texas yet there’s a spot I know that has thousands of Jerusalem crickets (the ones in the video) in the wild. Someone obviously dumped them since they’re domesticated and cannot fly and are grey but they can infact breed and hatch without high humidity. Where I am has 40% humidity 🤷♂️
What humidity do you recommend?
redfoot1958 50-60%
About how long does it take for the babies to grow into 1 inch adults??
Will feeder crickets be to loud to keep in my bedroom? Or should I keep them outside instead?
That all depends on you and how much noise you can tolerate but they will be pretty noisy chirping.
do you COVER the containers while doing all this? I can't see because it only shows the inside of container
Hey Sherri.
Can I have a little more information?
What size bins do you use for the adults?
Is the heat essential?
Do the crickets eat the eggs? I have seen other videos with screen on top of the container from keeping the crickets from eating the eggs.
As long as crickets are provided with food and water, we have no issues with them eating eggs.
is there any cheap way to make an egg laying bin
+Ballistika Games You just saw it!
some of your hundreds of cheap options are: dollar store- has cheap containers in all sizes, cardboard box with gaps taped shut, someone giving away plastic containers on fb marketplace, + a milion more free or cheap ways... common sense must be dead.
are your crickets already breed? was thinking abt buying
Not if they are ¾". He said in the video that the full sized (1" crickets) are already bred before being shipped, so order ¾" if you want to breed them. I always get ¾" so they live longer and sure enough, they start chirping within about 4 or 5 days after receiving them. With shipping time, that makes them a week older than when they were packed for shipping. They wouldn't have bred before that. I've bought crickets from Josh's frogs for years and the size they send is pretty accurate. I just haven't tried breeding them yet, but it gets expensive having 1,000 crickets shipped every 3-4 weeks so I am thinking about giving it a shot.
what is insect water made out of
It's a type of polymer gel.
what do you use for laying eggs
zan grcar vermiculite.
Can you use perlite instead of vermiculite?
Vermiculite helps with the stench.
Do you sell the vermiculite? Is peat moss safe to use in its place?
+Alan Moyer We do. Peat moss can be used, but vermiculite works better IME.
My crickets r not laying eggs in the vermiculite can u please Help me with how to get them to lay
Make sure your crickets are old enough, and make sure the vermiculite is not too wet or dry.
Will they lay eggs in perlite? I can't find vermiculite.
Vermiculite and perlite are pretty much the same thing. Both will work equally.
So I had 100 crickets I. My bearded dragons enclosure couple days later all the crickets he ate a week later I take a closer look and see hundreds of tiny crickets in his enclosure what do I do??? Lol
Idk but hopefully u got them out because they eat they’re eyes when the dragons sleep
I bought 1000 crickets from you guys off of amazon. only 600 came alive. so I stuck them in several large tubs, gave them carots and vegies. I gave them sponges for water and within the next 5 days they All died...
Did you contact our customer service department?
We guarantee live arrival on all feeder insects under the proper weather conditions.
No, I saw several bad reviews on amazon so I just let it go.
CoolStuff you just told them!
can i place an order of x500 1/2" Banded Crickets 250 male & 250 female ? it would mean a lot if this was possible.
+Angelo G I'm sorry, but we do not sex the crickets we send out. There's generally a pretty even male/female ratio, though.
Do you reuse egg soil after they’ve hatched?
No or if clean yes
I keep getting mold in my egg tray during incubation. I have them in deep clear totes with holes in the lid and on heat Matt's. What am I doing wrong?
You need a real incubator
are they smelly and noisey???someone plz answer
They can be if not kept clean.
Josh's Frogs thank you
No. Some employees are quiet and bathe regularly.
I tried this so many times..😩won’t work for me! How do I know if the crickets are laying eggs or not??
Are they supplied with damp vermiculite to lay their eggs in? You may occasionally be able to observe females with their ovipositor inserted into the vermiculite when they are laying.
i don't want to breed my crickets, i just want to keep them alive for my reptile's consumption, although breeding is inevitable is there anything i can do with the unwanted babies?
+The Sleeper Simply don't provide them with an egg laying bin, and they will not breed.
Tell them you're going out for cigarettes.
hey wait you said incubate at 89° and then you stuck them in a freezer lol what's with that?
We've modified that freezer into an incubator that is kept about 89F.
How did you modify it?
It's a good video, but please can you give metric measurements - it will save thousands of people having to convert.
Not as easy as I thought but simple I guess
why take out the bigger ones? don't you want bigger crickets natural selection and all that?
Yeah I ordered 250 from Josh,s frogs and was all dead when they showed up

Wow, seems easy. Time to ruin an ecosystem
Why are crickets so dumb
