Housing Crickets For Food. A food and water source should always be kept in the tank so that your crickets can feed and drink when they need to. The simplicity of cricket farming reminds me a lot of the simplicity of starting a worm farm they require very little to get started and only a few steps need to be followed.
For keeping larger numbers of crickets i use large rubbermaid or sterlite plastic storage containers. Also does anyone know a website that sells crickets. They are not as nutritional as crickets but you can care for them to make sure your pet gets the most out of them.
There is even commercially available cricket food but some folks find that their crickets don t taste as good when raised on this better to use grains nuts fruits and vegetables.
If you use fruit make sure that you replace the fruit every day so that it doesn t rot or create bacteria in the cricket tank. Crickets can eat a wide variety of foods. Is it okay to just keep the crickets in the aqaurium with carrots and egg crates. The container that crickets are kept in needs to be escape proof and well ventilated.
