Ok I have a very important question. My Chinese water dragon Isnt eating anything and hasnt eating any of his WaxWorms or MealWorms in about 4 days, Yet hes still active and everything Is cage has a huminity of 70-80 matters if I spray it at the time or not, and the temperature is 85-95, for basking and yet he never wants to he hes a small fry as of now only like 3 Inches not counting his tail but aa total of about 7In counting his tail, these are just estimates, but can you help me?
@puhlyy Yes it is When hes sapost to be eating 3-5 Crickets a day, BTW he died. He was getting extreemly skinny, Plus hes not the small lizards you probably take care of, where you only have to feed it like once a week
i seen the babies move over the dish when you showed it. i just started I only have one bearded dragon. so I two small containers for the babies and one 10 gallon for the adults. my adults lay in 10 gallon with a little tub of dirt. then I take the tube out and put it in the small container. I will be getting a heat pad for the babies soon.
ya its a great video, i pay $5 for 60 crickets... looks like all your videos is all i need to know, i hope i dont get obsessed and have a billion of em goin!
ahah yea man i pick out all the females lol. its really not hard at all. because they dont all show the same day, you will go tp bed one night wake up you will see more with the thing outt he back, u pick them out, and the next day there will be more,
woah... when u say transfer, i cant imagine you mean to pick up a couple thousand crickets one by one and put them into the next tank? ROFL???????????? heh i bet its hard to make a simple idiot-proof video about breeding crickets though being an expert you might forget at times that we are not and assume we know.
do you ever clean out the dirt on the bottom of your tank, and does mold ever grow on thebottom of your cricket cage, if it does how do you stop it from growing?
yea i clean out the dirt every now and then. and the best way to stop the mold is to just keep it clean. when ever u see dead crickets take them out . and dispose of them, also if u see any of their food mixed in the dirt take it out cuz it will cause mold to spread alot. so mainly just keep it clean. if mold gets under the dirt along the bottom its mainly cuz something got mixed in the dirt along the bottom and created mold.
cant you just get a 20 gal but some dirt for substrate keep the dirt moist and then let nature take its course and just supplie food and water or would the adults eat the eggs or wat please answer???
well you can use a 20 gall yes but u still have to be sure to give them lvls to clinb on cuz if it is over crouded they will still eat eachother no matter how much food and water there is. but other than that yea jus keep em fed and hydrated and they will do what ever :D like i said they breed when they are babies and when the females grow up they will already by ready to lay the eggs , and u can just keep repeating it over and over :D
oh lol. cuz my cricket videos are pretty much the most viewd on youtube , like on how to breed them and stuff. so they usualy go by which videos are most viewd in that cattigory.
wich one is beter a littel box or filling a cage up with dirt and droping the female crickets in to lay the eggs?i just started breeding crickets and i got the littel box in the cage what do i do?
wana know what they are both really great ways. i my self now use the way of filling the bottom of the cage with dirt . but yea just when you put the females in there make sure theres food for the to survive and keep the dirt real nice and moist NOT SOAKED but just nice and moist try not to let it go dry. thats pretty much it oh and make sure there is a good water drinking source for them. and thats pretty much it.... other than heat light to speed up the hatching and growing :D
the males and females breed when they are little so as long as the females have the obvsipositor/ stinger thng out the back and they are large ( adult ) crickets then they are ready to lay eggs. so yea they breed when they are little
Yeah I try to breed my own crickets for my 3 leos and my 4 fire belly toads (spending too much $)but I don't think it is working out. I bought the crickets about 2 weeks ago they laid their eggs in a container that I set for them with coconut husk. I move the container to another place with heat and it has been 2 weeks and still the eggs have not hatch. I don't know if it is the fungus causing this because after 2 days fungus was biginning to show and now all cover with it please help. Thanks!
ahah yes a comon problem people have when breeding crickets :P:P
well no the crickets will still hatch. BUT DONT USE THEM , as what ur crickets eats ur reptiles and anphibions eat as well... so when u gave your crickets food, what had happend is u may have gotting a bunch of water in the food and it would have spread and it would grow off small pieces of food. and besure to keep it around 80-90 f ( 30 C ) and keep it well moist! anything els just ask :D
no food enter the soil actually it is coconut husk I don't know if it is the substrate that I am using that is causing the fungus or is it normal for fungus to grow?
no fungis/mold is bad lol, its not good for the crickets/ ur reptile or anyting. if u want u could try switching to dirt.... becuase i dont know iv never used coconut husk.
well how much does it cost for the heat monthly? How long do you leave the females with the males before you transfer them to the egg laying tank? I want to feed these to oscars or chiclids i am hopefully getting soon and they seem like a good experience. Also how much was all the suplies together costing? And lastly, is the heat lamp nessacary or optional
well the heat cost monthly really isnt bad.... i have like.. :S:S 3-4 lights going and it like did nothing to the bill. also u keep them togeather untill u see crickets with a obvspositor ( stinger like thing ) sticking out the back and itll be like 1 inch long, then u can put them in the laying egg tank. also each of those tanks were about 12-15 $ accept the bigger one and it was like 40$? and the dirt is like only 8$ as u buy 3 bricks and they last a LOONG TIME! they expand into alot.
also for the heat light it is optional yes but like 99.9 people recomend it, as they do survive better with it and the growing rate increases ALOT. and it makes them hatch faster with the heat. so if i were u i would use a heat lamp, as i said in one of my videos the heat lamp will pay for it self by u saving money on crickets. im sure u understand what i mean by that lol.
i need the light cuz it gives off heat which helps the eggs hatch, aslo the females lay eggs fast and better in a worm area, also the crickets will grow faster in a worm clymit.
aahh! dude thats not good eh... not being mean but its not good. it can creat mold in your tank. and the tank can become over infested with them and can cause huge stress for your lizard... lizards dont like it when there is LOTS of crickets around them they stress right out. but thats just my thought.
ok... wat i recomend is egg cartons. also for the food... jus get dog foot and smash it up into small fine peices... and for water. just get a paper towel and fold it up into a small rectangle put it in the tank and spary it. thats what i do... i have a whole new WAY MORE effective way of breeding them now.. ima make a video after i find a good way of getting them water.. i have like over 2000... no lie..
i have 2dozen large crickets and i have been trying to breed them for a couple of days but they are dying i mean they hide under a clean pizza box i put there and just die. but i did find one dead female cricket in the damp soil... but whats wrong?
well perhaps they are not having adiquit water... orr maybe the crickets u are buying are an old batch that are old and die. hmmm i mean.... iuno i recomend jus keep trying and asking for large Female crickest only, they should stingers out the back, and ill tell u wat to feed them.
Hey man nice video. =) im confused though how much exactly would a young bearded dragon eat im not sure if im going to have to make a little breeding setup.. if you got any tips that would be awesome if not thanks for the vid really helps
lol ty, s yea i guess he should breed them :P:P i mean.. 10 bucks a week. times that by 52. thats like 520bucks a year u could be saving.... and in cpk9999 case.. 1040bucks a year.
well long as u have good heat and moist soil.. well they should start right away... what they do is they stick there stinger thing into the dirt if u watch u will notice them doing it.
but i do believe that jus eco earth worsk great.... i mean i actauly jus had my new batch hatch. and i have like over 1000.... its crazy.. the tank is coverd in crickets lol . but yea im sure eco earth is. and ass they grow put the females in the dirt as u find them with stingers. if u keep adding more and more u will get way better results.!
wats to much money the cricets?? lol yea thats why i breed them :D:D .. or do u mean the tanks?? if so not really a 12-15 gallon tank is only 12 bucks.. and it will pay for it self when u save on buying crickets.. :D:D
hey i tried to breed them and mine kept dieing until my iguana got out and finished them off so help me out plz =).Also I seperated them to but they both died like 10 or 15 crickets a day. ps. the females did lay eggs but not hatching yet.
lol well the females have a tube like thing sticking outt he back and the males just make a lot of noise and dont have anything sticking out the back :D:D
so i leave them to breed then seperate them .. how big are the eggs and where do they lay them .. or do i just let them hatch in the tank with the adults also how do i know when to put the males back in with the females?
well crickets dont live very long.. soo.. when u buy them buy adults. adults should be ready to lay eggs, look for a tube like thing sticking outt he back those are females. if they have those put them in the tank with the moist dirt and stuff.. only. u can do w.e with the males.... prly feed them to ur lizard. then u wait about 1-2 weeks then remove the adult females , then wait about 2 more weeks and u should have lil baby crickets. the crickets will breed them selves when there babies.get it?
well if your buy adults and u see a thing sticking out the back that looks like a stinger then u can just put them in the tank to lay eggs, the stinger like thing is the tube they stick in the ground to lay their eggs. and when they have a big one it means they are ready to lay eggs :D
hmmm good question.. like i have had another guys ask me about that, and he is using sand right, well he sais they do lay the eggs yes, but we are unsure aboutt he egs them selves hatching, but i think u might beable to use walnut shell .. go for it give it a try. and let me know how it goes.
is it possiable to breed crickets with just 1 container? i only have room for 1 tank, but i dont see why it wouldnt work as long as they dont get too over populated. and also, how do you tell male from female and how do you seperate them? do you pick through them? lol
well u cant do it with one tank cuz the big crickets will eat the pinheads, and females have like a thing that looks like a stinger out the back ( but its what they use to lay there eggs with ) and yea you seperate the males from females when u go to lay the eggs.
well you do.. but you see when u got to the store to buy them to start u buy adults, and the adults will all reayd be pregnant or w.e right. and when they lay eggs and the eggs hatch the babies will mate on there own, there for its well you know... when ur crickets that YOU BREAD get old u superate the males from females to get max results , cuz the males will eat the eggs .. which will result in ALOTA LESS baby crickets.
ahaah females have a thing sticking out the back that looks like a stinger, ( you can only tell when they are adult crickets ) and males have nothing they are just really laud!!! lol , and u dont have to take the eggs out:P u just take the females out of the tank lol:P:P that would be sooo hard to move all the eggs lol. one crickets can lay upto 800 eggs lol
fuckin hell, well cheers for the help, ive ben trying to breed my own for a while now, and i use three tubs aswell, i separated it kinda like you, i put adults in one, the young in another then i just grabed like a few and stuk them in to breed with each other, but then i started to get like baby mileerpeed thingys, and i dint no what the hell wa goin on lmaooooo
ahahaha yea that can happen:P that can be from dead crickets:P but the crickets will breed them selves when they are babies so theres nothing u really have to do to MAKE them bread:P:P but yea they will bread on there own , it works out great once u get it started cuyz its just a repeated thing lol
Okay ;-)

i need the light cuz it gives off heat which helps the eggs hatch, aslo the females lay eggs fast and better in a worm area, also the crickets will grow faster in a worm clymit.

GuRuOfMaCs221 3 years ago
females have a stinger like thing comming outt he back which they use to lay eggs with and males have nothing
lliizzaarrddss 3 years ago
you dont need all this stuff i put them in my tokay cage and just they just started to breed
reptilekee 3 years ago
aahh! dude thats not good eh... not being mean but its not good. it can creat mold in your tank. and the tank can become over infested with them and can cause huge stress for your lizard... lizards dont like it when there is LOTS of crickets around them they stress right out. but thats just my thought.

they have fresh cricket gut load water and gut load food but they wont eat or drink it should i remove the pizza box?
lizzardman6092 3 years ago
ok... wat i recomend is egg cartons. also for the food... jus get dog foot and smash it up into small fine peices... and for water. just get a paper towel and fold it up into a small rectangle put it in the tank and spary it. thats what i do... i have a whole new WAY MORE effective way of breeding them now.. ima make a video after i find a good way of getting them water.. i have like over 2000... no lie..
lliizzaarrddss 3 years ago
i have 2dozen large crickets and i have been trying to breed them for a couple of days but they are dying i mean they hide under a clean pizza box i put there and just die. but i did find one dead female cricket in the damp soil... but whats wrong?
lizzardman6092 3 years ago
well perhaps they are not having adiquit water... orr maybe the crickets u are buying are an old batch that are old and die. hmmm i mean.... iuno i recomend jus keep trying and asking for large Female crickest only, they should stingers out the back, and ill tell u wat to feed them.
lliizzaarrddss 3 years ago

lliizzaarrddss 3 years ago
wow hey i just got large crickets to breed today when will they start laying eggs? i already have damp soil in their......
lizzardman6092 3 years ago
well long as u have good heat and moist soil.. well they should start right away... what they do is they stick there stinger thing into the dirt if u watch u will notice them doing it.
lliizzaarrddss 3 years ago
hey bud they started hatching =) whats best substrate for them to lay eggs in so i can get more crix next time?
CPoston26 3 years ago

but i do believe that jus eco earth worsk great.... i mean i actauly jus had my new batch hatch. and i have like over 1000.... its crazy.. the tank is coverd in crickets lol . but yea im sure eco earth is. and ass they grow put the females in the dirt as u find them with stingers. if u keep adding more and more u will get way better results.!

lliizzaarrddss 3 years ago
hey i tried to breed them and mine kept dieing until my iguana got out and finished them off so help me out plz =).Also I seperated them to but they both died like 10 or 15 crickets a day. ps. the females did lay eggs but not hatching yet.
CPoston26 3 years ago

ummm.. i do believe so yes.. im pretty sure lol.
lliizzaarrddss 3 years ago
so i leave them to breed then seperate them .. how big are the eggs and where do they lay them .. or do i just let them hatch in the tank with the adults also how do i know when to put the males back in with the females?
RuD3z 3 years ago
well crickets dont live very long.. soo.. when u buy them buy adults. adults should be ready to lay eggs, look for a tube like thing sticking outt he back those are females. if they have those put them in the tank with the moist dirt and stuff.. only. u can do w.e with the males.... prly feed them to ur lizard. then u wait about 1-2 weeks then remove the adult females , then wait about 2 more weeks and u should have lil baby crickets. the crickets will breed them selves when there babies.get it?
lliizzaarrddss 3 years ago
aha thanks very much .. i wont start yeat ill need to buy some plastic tank sorta things then i ill start .. thanks for the help ill subscribe :)

lliizzaarrddss 3 years ago
hey lets say i go get my chrickets at a pet store can i put the girls in their tank or should let them hav some time with males
BelieveItOrNot4927 3 years ago
well if your buy adults and u see a thing sticking out the back that looks like a stinger then u can just put them in the tank to lay eggs, the stinger like thing is the tube they stick in the ground to lay their eggs. and when they have a big one it means they are ready to lay eggs :D
lliizzaarrddss 3 years ago
can you use sand as a substrATE? like walnut shells or something?
happytoess 3 years ago
hmmm good question.. like i have had another guys ask me about that, and he is using sand right, well he sais they do lay the eggs yes, but we are unsure aboutt he egs them selves hatching, but i think u might beable to use walnut shell .. go for it give it a try. and let me know how it goes.
lliizzaarrddss 3 years ago
is it possiable to breed crickets with just 1 container? i only have room for 1 tank, but i dont see why it wouldnt work as long as they dont get too over populated. and also, how do you tell male from female and how do you seperate them? do you pick through them? lol
Forthias 3 years ago
well u cant do it with one tank cuz the big crickets will eat the pinheads, and females have like a thing that looks like a stinger out the back ( but its what they use to lay there eggs with ) and yea you seperate the males from females when u go to lay the eggs.
lliizzaarrddss 3 years ago
i thought u needed males to
wiicrazy9 3 years ago
well you do.. but you see when u got to the store to buy them to start u buy adults, and the adults will all reayd be pregnant or w.e right. and when they lay eggs and the eggs hatch the babies will mate on there own, there for its well you know... when ur crickets that YOU BREAD get old u superate the males from females to get max results , cuz the males will eat the eggs .. which will result in ALOTA LESS baby crickets.
lliizzaarrddss 3 years ago
how do you tell, if a cricket is female or male, and how are you supposed to separate the eggs, arnt they like proppa tiny????
Theoneandonly4PY 3 years ago
ahaah females have a thing sticking out the back that looks like a stinger, ( you can only tell when they are adult crickets ) and males have nothing they are just really laud!!! lol , and u dont have to take the eggs out:P u just take the females out of the tank lol:P:P that would be sooo hard to move all the eggs lol. one crickets can lay upto 800 eggs lol
lliizzaarrddss 3 years ago
fuckin hell, well cheers for the help, ive ben trying to breed my own for a while now, and i use three tubs aswell, i separated it kinda like you, i put adults in one, the young in another then i just grabed like a few and stuk them in to breed with each other, but then i started to get like baby mileerpeed thingys, and i dint no what the hell wa goin on lmaooooo
Theoneandonly4PY 3 years ago
ahahaha yea that can happen:P that can be from dead crickets:P but the crickets will breed them selves when they are babies so theres nothing u really have to do to MAKE them bread:P:P but yea they will bread on there own , it works out great once u get it started cuyz its just a repeated thing lol
