Tired of having to buy crickets all the time. Here is a simple quick video on how to quickly and successfully breed crickets for CHEAP.

Just take eggshells wash this off let them dry and then ground them into powder and you'll have calcium to add to the the food.

Nice video. Haven't read through the comments, so this might have already been shared, but here are a few things I find that help.

First, I put a screen lid on my soil containers so the crickets can lay the eggs, but can't dig them up and eat them (and make a mess scattering dirt everywhere). 

Second, I find that my pinheads LOVE to eat fish food flakes. They devour it! I also look for flakes high in spirulina as this will help bring out colors in the pets I am feeding (in my case, mostly some colorful tarantulas).

im going to start breeding crickets because I have a Leopard Gecko and several other Cricket eating reptiles and it's gotten to the point where I'm spending 15 dollars a week on crickets so hopefully this helps thanks for the video

I know this is older but I worked at a reptile breeding place and we did crickets. I was in charge of the cricket breeding. I bred millions of crickets a week in a long cardboard box and lined the boxes in a plastic bag and they couldn't jump out just in case someone doesnt wanna mess with lid making. Our water dishes had the foam stuff from under carpets cut in the shape of the dish. It allows water but not drowning. We fed them crushed puppy chow. Crickets were so easy.

Thank you I have a leopard gecko and several pet jumping spiders.

My son had pet crickets many years ago (as an introduction pet) I must have been lucky as they had many crops of babies and their own cycle going in a 10 gallon aquarium. Always had about 50 of all different ages. Had to let the loose outside when we moved!

Time to suit up and go to HomeDepot for the supplies, thank you! I watched several videos and like yours the best!

We have big forested area near our small town and after long hot days of summer, just before the rainy season kick in when the soil is moist due to a few showers of rain, the forest crickets are out on the street everywhere.  I used to catch 'em with friends under lamp posts when I was young. It was so fun and painful at the same time, the little crawlers bite pretty hard, especially the big females and their spiky legs are so damn sharp and scratch the skin pretty deep. You gotta get a good grip on their thorax area with two fingers (thumb and index) otherwise it's a nightmare for the fingers. We would catch 'em the whole night and keep 'em in a bottle and our aunt would make a delicious fried cricket breakfast the next day =D They came out to breed but ended up being our breakfast haha...man.. miss those days..

Awesome video and love your sense of humor! Thanks for sharing! I've had a few scale over the packing tape and manage to grow up and then climb on the walls in the house. Made me laugh, scared the crap out of my mother. "WHAT KIND OF SPIDER IS THIS...A CRICKET? REALLY?" Haha. Thanks again for the video and the ideas!

Thx for the very informative video. I'd say one of the best ones I've seen so far.
I've had my 2 baby beardies for almost 2 months & already getting tired of going to the store to purchase overpriced crickets! After, seeing how easy it is to breed them, I will definitely be putting together my own "cricket farm", tomorrow. It seems silly NOT to.
Its inexpensive, your saving a TON of $$$ (I'm paying 11-13cents a piece here in Phoenix) in addition you can customize the diet of the crickets to ensure a heathy meal for your reptiles, amphibians etc.
*Bonus* if you end up w too many, selling them at a low cost is a great way to earn some extra cash on the side.
I'm actually excited to get started. I know I've got at least 4-6 females ready to lay eggs.
QUESTION (This maybe a stupid one, but I'm asking anyway), If you don't provide a place for the females to lay their eggs what what will the female do? will she still lay her eggs somewhere in the enclosure, the eggs will die and/or become food for the adult crickets?
Thanks again! I'll update ya in a few weeks w/ my progress.

Sorry guys but I won't be able to take orders for the forseable future, Please support my fight with leukemia

I once used cosmetic sponges for the crickets to drink from and they laid their eggs in it! I kept re wetting the sponge so I guess it kept the eggs wet and I only found out the eggs were in there when I tried to squeeze the sponge and felt all these little grains in them....kinda gross but I put the sponge in a separate tub and they hatched out.
