    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

iv been wanting to breed some crickets because every week i spend a ridaclos amount buying crickets, so decide to breed some and start off with 500 crickets in a 10 gal, it didnt work, how do i breed them,and i dont want to use 1 of those giant rubbermaud containers
 
do i have to feed them cricket food or can i feed them something like potatoes or what ever i have laying around. maybe left over food from my tailed friends???
 
You should google gut load or ask others what they use for gutload. You want to make sure you have the right vitamins and minerals if you are feeding them to reptiles/amphs. Some places like the bug company sell ready made gut load for a reasonable price.
 
ok i made a water are for the crickets out of a 1/2 gallon milk container cut it the same way as in the pic. then i stuck a 2 litre bottle with water. Put it all in a spare 10 gallon with cover, made a place for them to lay eggs but i still dont have a way to heat it iv got a old heating pad but it would probaly burn out after a couple days iv got some spare 60 watts fluckers but they maybe to warm and ill have to get a cheap heat lamp from walmart or harbor frieghts is running this light for 3 weeks nonstop going to be a problem
