Backyard Black Crickets

[Heatheranne]

Lynn, any tips on culturing them? I give Melvina them occas as treats. Might give it a try .

I also want to culture wax worms. I found that moths do make an excellent food item you can even find moth catching contraptions in pet stores. I mean to get a few because my cane toads go crazy for them. practically the only time they will actually eat in front of me is when i introduce moths. I am selling dubia roaches they also make a great meal for any size frog.

I can find and complain about to many moths in my yard and garage until I look for some to use as feeders. Then there's none around. Explain that!

Black field crickets tend to be much hardier and healthier than Acheta domestica i would collect some and house them like regular crickets but they are seasonal breeders, so breeding is still a challenge, but overall healthy and hardy but like said earlier be careful where you catch them.

I attempted to breed these once, but my ex's friend tipped the container over some how, and that was the end. I've read they use them more often in Europe.
