Re: Cricket breeder video

Thats pretty cool hats off to him, I've tried to breed crickets and it is very hard to do, but watching that video shows alot of things that I did wrong.

Re: Cricket breeder video

Looks like a smelly business! There is something about the smell of crickets that make me gag! LOL. I have never tried to breed them.

Re: Cricket breeder video

The smell is a combination of the feces and humidity. I keep around a thousand at a time and don't have a problem with smell. The container is open top and has screen on the side for maximum air flow.

Re: Cricket breeder video

I dont know what causes the smell, all I know is when I open the bag to feed my frogs, PUUUUU. I buy and feed right away, I could not imagine breeding in that amount, that has to stink, lol.
