I’m new to breeding crickets. I have though successfully raised several batches of crickets over the past two months. However, the process of getting the crickets to grow to the appropriate feeding size (which for me is about ½ of an inch) is slow, about 3 weeks+. Is there a way in which I can speed up the process or mass produce crickets, so to speak?
The size of the cricket tank I use is 5 gallons and I keep the temp. at about 70-75 F. I also have an overhead lamp and a heating pad under the tank. I use moist coco fiber as the substrate and feed the crickets lettuce and carrot scraps.
