[repticousins]

[JTSHEHE23]

[1234wallawalla]

[Teddybearcop48]

Good Job!

[animalboy2399]

cant u just keep them all in 1 tank

[theonlyCWB]

When the female lays the eggs in one tank how can u tell? And do u dump the dirt into a new tank or can I just take the adult crickets out and put into another tank? Do adults breed more than once? Do they only breed when they are babys? How offen do they bred? Can the offspring do the insest thing?

[duwwi1978]

How many days you leave the crickets to lay eggs in the soil?

[cradleofify]

hey anyone who breeds crickets look out for ants man, ants eat the pinheads they capture them, bite them and stack the dead bodies in an ant pile bastards.

[cetnickiponos]

@IamMeUareYou Awe that sucks my mom doesnt care but she doesnt like feeding my sisters ball python live fuzzies she doesnt care about the crickets cuz there insects plus we buy them from petco we have a cricket keeper.

[morrismaglasang]

Hi I was wondering, how do you separate or transfer the medium sized crickets to another tank so they don't eat the smaller ones? same goes for the adults after they lay eggs? do you have a method of catching them? or just catching them one by one? Thanks!

[JimmyT1643]

what do you do with the adults i see you keep the babies seperate do you buy the crickets let them lay the eggs and then put them into another tank?

[908205691838]

Thank you so much haha my frog eats so many its a pain I used to buy them for my scorpion, can't wait to try this out

[FultonJoshua55]

i have a tank with sand for the terrain and i also have a shoe box cover full of dirt to take out every two week so there eggs will hatch in a separate tank. the crickets wont lay there eggs in the sand with they?

[kizal2]

how long does it take to produce 1000 crickets starting with 10 females?

[masterman3178]

how do i seperate the eggs from the adults once they lay the eggs and i heard you can give them potato to eat as they will get food and water from the potato. 

[jerkopus]

great video, very educational!

[mikekomalley]

Do u just leave those babies in that tank until they get large? How do u keep the cycle going for the next babies? I want crickets forever.

[cUrIeL909]

hey i bought some crickets a couple of days ago and one of my females turned white and has long wings???I need help idont get the meaning of this!!Does this mean that she will lay eggs already??er what??

[FultonJoshua55]

@cUrIeL909 be cause the cricket turned white means it just got done sheading its outer skeleton

[rakugaki619]

like it........tnx for your advice and dedication to this....

[TheMhastings]

what gallon tank is that

[2nderickid84]

Hey does this work 4 field crickets

[crazy4allanimals]

[clifordramos]

[GamerMatt97]

Lol u were like obh damn it wen your gf called u.also thank u for the information

[gymnocalysium]

Very informative. Thanks.



[TheBullet2020]

hey dude wat kind of crickets u need to breed i got somefrom the gas store i wanna start breed them

[The1paintballer]

how long does it take for them to be eating size for my leopard gecko after they hatch?

[Matt2Sansone]

How do you seperate the adults from the babies? You just hand pick hundreds of them out?

[MiSsEmOgUrLxOx]

@Matt2Sansone im wondering that is aswell lol :/

[cetnickiponos]

@Matt2Sansone i saw another video...and the person actually had mesh on top of the dirt.

HkyMom76 is the person who posted the other video who had the mesh. :)

[yrtsg]

@Matt2Sansone there are feeding tongs that are sometimes used to feed crickets to reptiles and they are very easy to use they cost between $9 - $11 and you can find them at any pet store

[nofx4tea]

Yeah this shit doesn't work! If you moisten the dirt, mold grows as a resulting factor. So it's either dry and the eggs don't hatch or moist and mold grows and I'm sure that's not good for the eggs and/or baby crickets either.

[Lucifuhrerr]

What about "tropical soil"? It's something that I got for my tarantula a long time ago.

[Dcrow06]

gr8 video very helpful, bu how do you go about separating the eggs from 1 tank to another

[alien102471]

It seems like my pet store sells only male crickets. Shame

[pjt759]

I like your voice very much are you a Canadian? 

[staguardianangel]

Great video, it helped me out alot!

[123tiril]

so really you only need to buy adult female crickets and put them in the "egg" tank right away for 1-2 weeks and you are pretty much set?

[cradleof11]

some of the pinheads do die though when incubating the eggs, but you dont spray much water on the dirt, i spray heaps, i soak the dirt right down to the bottom

But i have heat pads underneath, you have lights?

[bobert123456789able]

PLEASE RESPOND!!!

[bobert123456789able]

[findthecomputerroom6]

how manyweeks does it take for them to grow to full size?

[thefishboy25]

how do you prevent ants from eating them?

[Littlenipper55]

oatmeal works too they seem to like it a lot :)

[DustyMikeSB]

everything was fine but you didnt have any shelter for the babies so they can get stressed out and died

[itrainedcold]

[soultruesk8rlifelong]

[SteveasourusRex]

[Angel126snow]

Hello my name is Angel , my Son and I have been trying to breed crickets . We have them in cocoanut sand , we were ready to throw it away . When my son noticed some movement in the sand . We have them in a plastic container the size of 11 inches tall ,12 inches wide , 14 inches long ,is that big enough for them . So it has been about 20 days since there was a female in there , how many more days will we have to look for the hatchinglings ?

[snowman108890]

how often should you clean the tanks to prevent the tanks from smelling up the place?

[CashSmeller]

i might do this if i get a pet reptile, but my parents would KILL me if they got loose in the house lol

[Reptiledictionary225]

Do they need heat?

[TheH0tstuf]

ok so i got started breeding crickets right i have seen them laying eggs and the eggs in the tray of dirt, i have been keeping the eggs as warm as i can but i still have had no sign of pinheads? am i doing something wrong? any tips? plz reply thanks

[ROBERTRAYYEOMAN22]

can you keep adults and babies and eggs together?

[fluffyzhangfei]

nice vid bro.

[legomovies8]

Will it work with repti bark

[robom1337]

@legomovies8 ya need dirt or coconut husk shavings or sphagnum moss for them to lay in or something.

[wildlife455]

how do you transfer the babies?

[Shadowfax1245]

Love this video! Quick question: After you put the females in the tank and they are done laying their eggs, do you have to take the females out of the tank and put them in another tank? Also is sand okay to use as bedding for the females?

[jadedburst]

Great video! Thank you! I had one question. Do you buy adults from the pet store and place just the females in the cage where you have the babies? Then take the females out a week later? Thanks so much!

[Iawyn]

Someone plays guitar :)

[lillilmike]

[cameron36957]

[roberttrump37]

[puhlyy]

[mgassonsdream]

@1means by the description u put, it seems like u water them to much, u must wait until the ground is dry to spray again, also the babies die in direct sunlight and not enough food for adults because they eat the eggs a lot, hope this helped

P.S. Srry about ur luck with having cricket babies

[johnason8899]

[pageme101]
