re secrets

All my crickets are bred in the storri monitors cages its just a case of buying a few containers for a few weeks and putting them all in and having plenty of sand thats sprayed with water.My cage hatches thousands,they have the same breeding regime as the monitors its very easy,i put half an egg container in the cool end to catch young ones regular.I feed them cricket pellets,vit bits,all bran,brown bread,carrots etc.Ile take a pic and put it on here.

They are all kept in a fairly small container with a chuccks over the top,then the lid over that so they cant escape,in here you can have huge numbers of au7lts and young.When catching to feed off catch with your hand from underneath the egg container by feel to prevent escapees.
