ok so this is my first attempt at brreding crickets..as well as breeding super worms.. ive done some reaserch and here is what i am doing.. CRICKETS.. i buy em by the 1,000.. i put them into a 60qrt tub with a few little tubs inside full of sand and soil.. i let the females lay theere eggs for a few days.. then remove tubs..dump them into a smaller shoe box sized tub on a heated pad.. havent hatched any yet.. been a week.....any ideas???....SUPERWORMS.. i take the adult worms and seperate them into a fishing box container... to allow them to pupate.. once they go to beetle stage im going to put them into a tub together to breed.. ...what next????

You have to feed the beetles fresh fruit and veggies and still have the oatmeal base. Here's a new concept I found on youtube that allows the eggs to fall through a screen into a hatching tray underneath.
