Things needed:
+ 18 g sterilite tote with lid
+ packing tape
+ chinese take out container or anything 2 inches tall by whatever you want on length and width.
+ sphagnum peat moss mix.
+ adult crickets
+ misting bottle
+ 90-100 ambient temps ~Heat tape with thermostat or summer time heat works best.
This is a super simple way to breed crickets. Get a shallow approx 2 inch tall container by however long and wide you want. The bigger the better. Place about 1 inch of sphagnum peat moss mix in the container and make it thoroughly wet. Place this container in with some adult crickets and remove the following day. Get a 18 gallon sterilite tote and line the top of the tote with packing tape. Do this below the hole that are on the handles or seal the little holes up. Nymphs will climb and will get out of any small hole. Keep temps between 90-100f degrees. During incubation, I crack the lid on the tote and mist the soil once daily. Take the lid off once they hatch and keep temps around 80-90* . They generally hatch out in 7-10 days.
Good luck!
