good vid thanks for info, do the crickets find that egg laying substrate easily? i mean will they climb up that container no problems? I tried doing this another way where i covered the entire bottom of the tank with dirt, but ive got 500 crickets in there so its gonna be a pain to get them all out again in a week or 2 :/

@MrElliotGear yea the problem with covering the whole bottom as you now know is that you will have to remove all the adults to let the babies breed, you can actually just give it a shot and see how it goes if its too much of a pain at this point, just give lots of places for the babies to hide.

The way Ive done it is with the breeding tray and the crickets have never had a problem getting up there and laying eggs. best of luck

great vid, my wife and I were trying to find the simplest way to breed crickets for our lizards and frogs i do have a question tho. for the breeding tray how much if any should I compact the soil? shold it be loose or should I stuff the dirt down hard?

[GimpingMan]

@LuisDolores2244 No you dont have to pack down the soil, as you moisten it, it will slowly pack down naturally. Loose dirt is better and easier for the crickets to lay in.. I have a couple other videos about breeding trays and keeping pinheads you might want to check out. If you have any other questions feel free to ask or message me.

So way happens after they lay the eggs????

[GimpingMan]

@Abven9 check out my other videos about breeding crickets, I made one for each step you need. Seperate the breeding tray into your incubating tub, let the babies hatch, feed them and once they get big enough transfer them into the main colony for breeding. and repeat

Whenever I put fruit or veg in (and I change them everyday) I seem to get heaps of tiny fruit flies and then maggots and then dead crickets YUK HELP
