Camel Cricket Care

[ReignofInvertebrates]

I just found a few 1" specimens. General care? Does anyone even keep these? Most types of crickets aren't common in captivity except the common feeder and field cricket. I basically need to know the container size, substrate, feeding, and moisture.

I am not sure on care but if I go outside on any night I can catch you hundreds. Over here there is a LOT.

Search for them here; I know I've told several people about my experience with keeping them.
Do you know what genus you have?

It really depends on the species.

Some are very specialized, others much less so. Ever seen sand treaders? Those are neat camel crickets!

if that's the case, then the care is very simple. high humidity.


they'll eat anything. fish flakes would be a good food
