cricket breeding

[lizardgirl]

I just bought some crickets for my little one and it was really expensive so I was thinking of breeding them to save money. I have them in a 10 gallon tank and they have egg cartons and a tube to hide in, I feed them the scraps from my iguana good (collards, squash, apples, etc.) and there is a low container with moist soil in it. Is there anything else I should be doing or is that enough? I also have a container for hatching. Thanks in advance!

Warmth!
Never had great luck in colder weather. At 80 deg. they grow and reproduce like crazy.
If you put a reptile heat pad under the tank, it sometimes does the trick.
Good luck.

I have a heated cord I could put around the inside, would that work? It's made for reptile cages. And thanks ^_^
