Breeding Crickets..?
Ok, so I have a lot of pets that eat those crickets that you buy at the pet store. Including, turtles, geckos, tarantula etc. I read contained by a book that you can breed those crickets so you don't have to buy so many at the pet store. How can you tell apart manly and female? What do I have to do? What do they eat? And anyother things you want to detail me.
ewwwwwwwwwwwww!
O.K.just buy a bunch of crickets,+ don't verbs about the sex(there is bound to be both types) You will need
+Lees kricket keeper (large)
+ flueker's kricket gell insubstitute for water(because they drown easily)
+ oatmeal/cardboard for food!!
Answers: just get alot of cricket there be males and females surrounded by that bunch.
The better you feed the crickets, the more nutricious the dinner your herps will get. This is called "gut-loading". With that within mind I feed my crickets ground up (in a nut chopper) dry cat food and dog food a lot of the time. They also catch leftover iguana salad (chopped veggies and greens). You can also feed them fish flakes, oatmeal, other meals, etc. Anything nutritious that you hold laying around. The ground up leftovers in the bottom of (non-sugary) cereal works too. Crickets will eat just about anything, in recent times make sure it is nutritious. For liquid I distribute my crickets slices of orange or some "cricket water". Oranges are better than water because they are packed beside Vitamin C and the crickets can't drown in it. Don't put a dish of water in in that because you will have lots of drowned crickets. They hop in and can't hop out. I also use the "make your own" hose down crystals that you add water to.
