Breeding crickets isn't too hard, it can be annoying though.
Basically place adult crickets in a container with food, and hydration.
Have a container filled with soil which is slightly moist.
The crickets will lay eggs in it, and they will hatch in about a week.

As for raising the crickets to be the midsized for your jacksons is going to take a month. You have to keep them hot and humid but their container also needs to breath. Getting babies in 80 degree soil is easy, but raising until adult hood to make another generation is harder. DEpending on the species you get, some will take longer then other. given their food, water and heat intake, itll take 6 to 8 weeks to get breed'able adults.


here are some kickers, Not only will this be an added job for you but it will also be much work every day. Baby crickets cant live in that soil they were laid in. They need to be removed or in time the build up of urine poop and humid soil will cause the crickets to die off once they hit the 2wk 3 wk size. Getting there is easy but raising them to 4 week old(good size medium) is hard to do. Its best to hatch crickets, remove all by lighting letting them hang onto paper towels and transfer. For baby crickets, regular transfer is needed. For what its worth,try it and see what works for you, or what you can tolerate. This is a hot stinky sticky mess sometimes. Might be better off breeding dubia roaches which are much less delicate.
