Crickets are scary if you don’t know what they are, otherwise I find the churp to be quite peaceful.

I grow orchids and a poinsettia, as the weather became chilly I brought the poinsettia indoors. The cricket was a wondrous surprise and I have become curious about it. I was concerned that it may not have enough nutrition so I appreciate the blog. Ironically, I have lots of China experience and also attest the cricket as a revered or esteemed pet.

I’ll try to make it a good 8 weeks for my Christmas flowers new roommate!

crickets are so small they are so amazing cause they can grow to be about 4 inches or more and the runts are so small when there babies but when they grow older there so big and the ones that are big when there babies they grow to be small when they get older

i love crickets they are my favorite animals. crickets eat plenty of things like carrots lettuce and alot other vetatables and even more.i catch crickets almost every day and give them food to eat so that they wont eat echother if you are taking care of a cricker for a pet then you have to give them food or they will eat all the other crickets if you dont give them food then you will lose 1 or 2 crickets a day maybe 3 if there really hungry

Hey thanks for the great info.

I really liked the cricket food recipe b/c ive never thought of using cat food to feed them.

Ive been using a combo of cereal, flukers orange cube, zilla green quencher, and sometimes left over veggies. Ive had mixed results with the commercial feeders and most times it seems like they dont even want them (the primary water source so thats a problem).

I typically only have about 50 in the storage container at once. Do you have any ideas for a better/easy way to give them water? or just continue to use the cubes b/c if they’re thirsty they eat it. TY

Some people may want to keep crickets as pets but I am not one of them.

I have crickets getting into my home and I’m not really sure how to get them out. They don’t usually try to come in till late August.

Last year I tried jars of water with molasses in it. It only caught about 2. I’ve wondered about sprinkling cinnamon or borax around the outside of the house.

Any other ideas, I’m ready for them!
