[QUOTE="Ranitomeya, post: 277552, member: 6796"] I used to breed crickets, but I found them too much a hassle in comparison to feeder roaches. The only crickets I have now are some Gryllus sigillatus that I caught during the winter in southern California. So far they're just as prone to cannibalism, but are capable of handling cooler temperatures. Feeder crickets just too prone to dying if kept too cool, they'll cannibalize each other even if you give them a good source of water and protein-rich food, and they're rather susceptible to disease. It was always a bit difficult to get a large enough number of them to feed all my pets with only one large bin. I'm easily able to raise several times more roaches in the same sized bin as what I raised crickets in. [/QUOTE]
