Ok, I'll set up a 10g tank today. The crickets I have chirp. Either they are dead silent or they suddenly become obnoxiously loud with their chirping. Right now I have them next to the computer and one cricket is making the tiniest chirp noise. I can barely hear it. I might not be able to breed them because of my mother in law. She's out of town right now but if she comes back and can't stand the sound or smell, then these crickets go to be lizard food.
Thanks for the info!
