This is the most minimal effort set up I have seen so far. Thank you! The watering container idea is awesome

[volvandthepocketkaiju]

I love the idea for water. Thank you for sharing, Luke!😄

Ive bred these by accident in my scaly foot legless lizards tank a few crickets escaped into his tank and a few weeks later about a hundred baby crickets are walking around

[SEQMONITORS]

Thanks mate this helps so much am so over buying crickets! Great information and you definitely know your insects!

[shikitorandall]

That watering method is AMAZING! I have been struggling to figure out a way to get water to them without them drowning 😂

[RidiculousRocketry]

Outstanding information and presented well. I'm ready to raise my own crickets and will follow your process. I learned a lot watching your video.

[Japh]

YES!! I've been dying for this video, thanks mate! 😄

My Muscovys an I thank you so much. Set it up so easily, here on the farm in Siskiyou Co, CA!

Pro tip if your reptile rooms warm and secure, you can always have a few loose geckos from mourning geckos to tokay gecko. 1 waring to this the mourning geckos will re produce and the tokay gecko will probably bite you if he sees you

thank you for sharing your cricket breeding set-up! it's the least intimidating one I've been able to find so far, and now I'm excited to see if I can replicate it! (my main culturing experience has been with fruit flies, mealworms, and harvester ants, so some of the other types of feeders I've been looking into for my herptiles seem to use a lot more intensive techniques)

[Ross-ykws]

Great video! Thank you-raising baby huntsmans often getting pinheads and extra small can be hard where i live-definitely gonna try this 👍

[ReptiChat]

Set up looks spot on! My cricket tubs need a revamp so will be stealing some of these ideas!

[JayBay]

Man I really thank you, soon I won’t have to order online anymore. With your set up I’ve keep alive 1000 1/8 and 3/8 crickets. I also had a batch hatch and I can keep the smalls!! The others will eventually get bigger but I need to figure out how to manage the bigger ones! I’ll probably just use a 40 gallon tub for the ones that get big! This rocks and I only check substrate 1 a week to make sure it’s wet for eggs! No constantly feeding and maintaining like my other feeders. I prob throw some clean up beetles in there as well.

I contemplated breeding crickets but it's tough to try anything else after I keep dubia roaches as they require so little effort to keep the colony going. So just buy the odd box of crickets here and there as a treat. Nice informative vid though never seen the water idea before either.

[winterblooded]

Dope and easy, shared, helps people spend less.

[littletonoskill]

Always great to see another video from ya luke, really brightened my day. Keep up the good work

[SoulEsne]

Awesome video. The self-watering is really cool. I had dedicated a specific egg crate and was eye dropping water onto it to absorb into it but its been a very manual process so far. This is a great alternative.

[priscacara]

Great vid I learnt where I was going on with the few times I tried breeding them unsuccessfully. Tx for the info!
