Crickets

Well not "hid", but indavertantly placed where I can not find it.

Ok, it took some searching, but I found the cord. Here is the crick cage I built this week. Very easy and cheaap to make. I got 500 in there right now, and you see they have plenty of room.

I recently started trying to breed my own. My set-up is fairly simple.

Here's some of the info I started off with: http://www.anapsid.org/crickets.html

I've started making my own food as well. Here's the mixture I use:
4 cups rolled oatmeal (not the instand kind)
1 cup powdered milk
2 cups dry premium cat food (measure then crush)
2 teaspoons Repti-Cal calcium w/V3
Crush and mix together and store in an airtight container

Here's my set-up:

My tanks. Left one is my adults (54qt container I got from the dollar store) and right one is my babies (10gal glass tank I got from a yard sale).

For warmth I have a regular human heating pad set to medium heat on a timer. They get light from the room lighting. Once I get them established I shouldn't have to buy and more.
