    Cam,
    Buy ? No buying !!!! (maybe the initial adults (large) crickets)
    I have not purchased a cricket for more than 2 years !!
    They are easy to breed. A cricket bin is like -hormonal 'mania' !
    Imagine - one female cricket will lay 100 eggs. Lots of babies !!!!!

    nooooo thank you! I bred crickets several years ago. Their entire bin had to be cleaned every single week or it would smell like someone died. At least with the roaches I only have to clean their bins once every few months.

    I'll just use my baby dubia roaches. They can't climb glass. I'll just have to step up breeding efforts (in other words; add lots of orange slices, increase their temperature, decrease light) with the dubias because I don't have nearly as many of them as I do the lobster roaches.

    I might try breeding crickets again this summer, but if I do their bin is going to be on the back porch. Man those things stink!
