If you have a lot of pet animals like Bearded dragons,
Leopard geckos, Chameleons etc. it might be a good idea to breed
your own crickets. This comes in handy when you are far away
from a reliable supplier or cricket breeder, when you want a
specific cricket size or just because you're fed up with
ridiculous feeder cricket prices. By breeding crickets you will also
be able to properly
gut load
before feeding them to other animals. Remember that what goes into your crickets,
go into your pet animal.
There are various books and internet
articles available on cricket breeding, some more complete than
others. From experience I can tell you that most are incomplete
and just plain nonsense. A lot of recourses claim that its easy
to breed crickets at home, but I can tell you upfront that it is
not the case. When you want to take this route keep in mind that
feeder crickets can stink and that you need a certain amount of
space to keep and breed them. For
more information on cricket breeding, also refer to
Keeping & Breeding Crickets As Feeder Insects. This eBook
will show you all there is to know on successful small scale
cricket breeding. |
