5 months in and I LOVE IT!!! this needs to be mandatory equipment in the list of things to buy. Now with the temps heating up I don't need to sit and futz with the dimming.... it does it automatically. Seriously, get one!

I've wanted to do this but my wife said no to a 2nd enclosure

Yeah you could even replace the screen with heavy Guage plastic. Or just fo with a diy zen habitats style. The rail is available and you can buy pvc sheets and cut to fit. It's easier than you think. Check my posts for my diy cage

I think home depots (at least where I live) collect them. I've known others to wrap them in a heavy garbage bag then break the bulb with a hammer and then put them in the trash... Not saying that's what you should do but I've known people who do that.

Do I change the egg crate and how often? It's starting to get a stink already... I may wipe the bin down with a baby wipe tomorrow

OK 24hrs in ... Lots of sheds, not many dead crickets. Shook All the denris to a corner, waited 20min, shooed away the live ones amd vacuumed up the remaining. They love dry bug burger and flukers cricket diet. Also really love the cricket quencher. Wish me luck through the weekend.

all unpacked and ready to be fed off or die a horrible stinking death in 3 days!

My 1000 crickets arrive today! Got some bug burger, flukers cricket diet. And flukers cricket water gel all ready. We'll see how long these last. I'll post a picture of my setup once I dump then in.

Anyone use bioactive with crickets? Saw 2 videos on YouTube about using soil, leaf litter, and isopods with crickets and it helping to keep clean and also help reduce die off. I have 1000 crickets inbound and need to build their container.

I wish my guy didn't stop eating dubias... I have a self sustaining colony but he won't touch them unfortunately. Going to buy 1000 and sew how that goes. I got a 56qt container from target so we'll see.

Does too small a container contribute to die off? I have my 100 in a 5gal tote. I can try a larger one and see how that goes. Do most people have 2 bins to swap back and forth for cleaning?

Does anyone have a written guide for how to keep crickets alive? I can't keep 100 crickets alive for more than 4 or 5 days and honestly they live just fine in my garage because it seems that any that have gotten out have been breeding and living their best life in my garage. How big of a...

I agree with everything you said! I'll trim it back, it's just starting to get to be a jungle and I love it but I'll do some tactical trimming. And yes, I agree he looks healthy but he's not eating at a time I thought they should be packing on the pounds. Bur maybe I'm wrong.

2.3 at his back on the branch. Here are some more shots now that I'm home and don't have to ask my wife for pics via text lol.

My mistake... I was posting that list from memory... I'll try to edit but it may be too late. I measured like 3.2uvi when new and it's been going down but now is 2.3.
