I dont wanna run to the store every week to buy 40 crickets so i raise about 100 in a pretty small container..

Question

for about 2 weeks. but the water always dries up. i dont wanna risk the chance for opening the top and crickets jump out in my house. that has happened. how do i put water in?

how long do crickets usually live? i think im not taking care of them right, or r they just dying of old age?

Answer 1

you could have a hole big enough for a straw to fit in and pour water into the straw whenyou need to then take out the straw and cover the hole

and they don't live long

Answer 2

Send me an e-mail and I will tell you exactly how I breed my crickets and I am succesful, and it is easy, but you need a few things and a bigger container, not a small one, plus I will show you a water source that requires little attention.      [e-mail]

Answer 3

potatoes

Answer 4

Super mealworms are much easier to breed. Buy a dozen and place each one in a separate cup and leave them for about a week. They'll begin to turn into beetles.

Place the beetles on a bed of wheat bran and put a fresh potato slice on it daily. After a few weeks you'll see baby mealworms moving around. It's time to move the beetles to a new pile of wheat bran.

The babies will continue to mature. Keep placing potato slices on them. Carrots are good too. If you need more beetles, repeat the first step. Soon you'll have enough to sell.

Those potato and carrot slices are the best way to provide food and drink for your crickets too.
