Awesome thanks for the info! I’m gonna set up some new totes this evening with vertical crates and definitely slim down the population per tote. I would like to eventually be able to raise my own crickets
So what is a good number per tote? I originally was buying 1000 crickets at a time and had them spread among 3 of the smaller totes in the pics I attached. I had the same problem. I’m open to any and all suggestions because I have asked before what size tote I needed for 1000 crickets and didn’t...
I’m down for more money if they last, at this rate I’m paying about .12 a cricket with my death rate that’s higher that Petsmart! I just compared my last order to my new order from Ghanns and it’s about 8 bucks more. But like I said if they last it’s WELL WORTH 8 bucks.
I order them from Ovipost, I just recently got a computer fan to place on the screen top to help circulate the air. I do clean there cage every Sunday, I willing to try anything lol
I am having a real hard time keeping my crickets alive, they started off in a 116 quart container in my garage but I thought maybe they were getting too hot or humid so I moved them to my guest bedroom with no luck. I order 1500 at a time and place them all in the same cage. I use 4 whole egg...
I did the same as @Daesie11 , it was a major help. Running my cage months before I got my little guy and I listened to ALL of the Chameleon Breeder Podcast episodes. I also read many many articles here on the forum. Plus oodles of google searches. You’ll get it just keep up the research and do...
To each is own on the big cage vs the little cage but I can speak for the mist king on the smaller cage. Don’t stress on that at all you can add more or less “shrubs” directly in front of the nozzle and you can aim it more down to keep from over spraying. Also on my cage when I overspray with my...
I have no idea but it sounds pretty bad @ss, iv looked at them myself but haven’t pulled the trigger yet because I don’t need any more pets lol. I do think it would be hard to keep your feeders out of the water, if they fell in your Cham might not be able to get to them and you may not want him...
This last weekend it was around 97 in my garage, I also wondered if maybe the humidity was too high for them? I was thinking about installing a small fan in there cage to keep air circulating and keep the temps and humidity lower. Has anyone tried that or had to do that? Also I got a shipment...
I live in Dallas, I recently bought a 116 quart sterilite tub that I cut the lid and glued screen in. My old tubs are about half that size ( I looked but iv take the tags off them ). Here recently I noticed when I cleaned my cricket tubs out that I had a crazy amount that were dead. I just...
what size container do you use for 1000 crickets? Also where do you keep them? I have been keeping mine in the garage but recently I lost a LOT of my crickets and I believe it was due to heat. The Texas summer is staring to warm up. Any and all info would be greatly appreciated.
