How to avoid breeding crickets

[noahc66]

Is it possible to prevent your feeder crickets from breeding, but still give them everything they need to be healthy?

They cannot reproduce unless they have a medium to lay the eggs in and the heat + moisture needed to incubate them.

No way to stop them from doing it cricket style though, lol.

So what should the temperatue/humidity be if I am not breeding them?

I currently buy 200 crickets a week... I wish i could get them to breed fast enough! haha. but I see your point. only one chameleon and a crab... get more chameleons!

This is the answer by the way...

If there is no place to lay and incubate eggs there is no breeding. Pretty simple!
