So I recently decided to breed crickets to feed to my Tarantulas, and possibly sell, seeing as breeding roaches here in Florida is illegal.. I just wanted to make sure I have somewhat of an idea of what i'm doing. I already bought a big storage bin to house them in.
Can I use sand as a substrate for the entire bin, and then place little containers inside the bin filled with soil, or sand as well, for the crickets to lay their eggs?
I also have a shallow water dish, than I'm going to fill with pebbles, for a water supply.
And I've been feeding my crickets cat food and fruits/vegetables whenever I have them.
If i'm missing anything, please let me know, and i'd like to see pictures of your cricket breeding setups.
Also, do you think they'd be fine in a garage? I will be cutting holes into the storage bin and gluing vent/screen over the holes for air flow.
Feel free to give any advice you may have.
I'd also like any incubation ideas, because i've never actually used one before, is a small container with no, or little airholes fine, as it is with tarantulas?
