Breeding crickets

[Loren]

I started with a few dubias a couple months ago- still waiting for the colony to build.
I have bred crickets in the past but found it to be alot of work. I'm sure there is a better system out there that makes it easier, but in the meanwhile I also started buying bulk- box of 500 half grown crickets for 8 or 9 bucks, lasts me for 2-3 weeks. So, I figure if I eat sandwiches instead of buying a lunch for a couple days at work each week, I can call it even.
I keep them in a large sterilite tub(66 qt?) with a large panel of screen taped over a large hole in the lid. Not really any escapes, and I feed them carrots and alittle bit of collared greens. They live really long for me that way.
I have also started cutting down on insect eaters- mostly just snakes on my wishlist anymore- and a separate shed for raising rodents.

I also raise mealworms. They are a piece of cake to raise.
