davidb Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 You just need a dish and some vermiculite for the adult crickets to lay in. Use some mesh which has holes large enough for the females to fit their ovipositors through to lay but not big enough for them to eat the eggs. Feed them dog biscuits for protein to stop them eating each other and they also like rolled oats. Make sure they always have water and fresh grass and keep them warm with a 40 watt incadecent bulb. thats about it really. dampend the vermeculite in the egg dishes once every couple of days, and change the dishes every week or two and put them in a warm place for the eggs to hatch.
