Also i add a little extra water to it. it just seams to me to be a little too thick. and its not a mater of culture per lizard. 1 culture pending when it was created could feed the whole lot. but you may go through them faster. What I have learned is more to cycle them. have one or two...

I also split the recipe in two containers myself.

i also add a 1/2 tsp of sugar

Well I thought 50 cultures might be a bit much. After making cultures I stand by that. I do about 8 cultures in a 32oz cup at a time and I have more than I know what to do with. I would say it takes about two weeks before the numbers start growing. After that they start producing by the...

7/13/19 they where layed, 3/19/20 they started hatching. I am still new at this but from what I understand they will be hatching over a period of time. What that time Is I do not know.

I have herd everything from 9 to 14 months. mine have been a little over 8 months.

I actually started freezing fruit flies to feed to my fish so this has been a win - win for me

lol, I have fruit flies coming out of my ears and about 10k in pinhead crickets

Update! I came home yesterday and found seven little babies running around the hatch bin. I have placed then in the new containers and am awaiting more hatchlings. I am very excited and want to say thank you to everyone!

nm some of that. I see someone else asked same question

Its been a min, but I was thinking about you lighting set up. I was wondering if you could give me some dimensions and lighting specs. Like are those 4' and are you using t5 or t8. What fixture would you recommend. And I am assuming the dome lights are for basking bulbs. Also how close do...

Well that is something I did not think about. I could add a window shaker and/or ceiling fan. I have extra of those.

I will check out both ways and see whats the most cost effective and functional for me. I think no matter what I am going to need to build or buy a cabinet of some kind. or at least close off an area in the pole barn. keep in mind this is usually only needed in my area for a very short period...

Yeah, I was wanting to do that but concerned about it at the same time. I would like to see some more idea's and things other people do. In the mean time I have some ways to go thanks to you and kaizen. I will at least have a while before I need to set it up which gives me time to try some...

I do like that idea too! That would allow me to control each bin separately. Do you house yours outdoors?

Yeah, I understand that they can not handle that cold of temps. Worst case scenario I can simply bring them in the house in the winter on cold days. I wont actually let them get that cold. but in the end though your suggestion is to build another smaller area out of wood and insulate it...

yes I am aware I need to clean it out beforehand :)

So I started breeding crickets in the winter this year indoors. While collecting for feeding pets, sometimes they get out. I want to start housing them outdoors in a 20'x30'ish pole barn and 1/2 is enclosed. It has a lot more room for my projects, It has walls and a roof. We are coming out...
