I was just curious if any of the beardie owners on this site have bred any of their own crickets? I have purchased a cricket breeding kit and am willing to try. I want to know how many people can successfully do this.

I have never 'tried' to breed crickets. I have found tiny babies but I never mean to breed them. My crickets go by way to fast for them to breed. But from what I heard, it shouldn' that hard. Just make sure they have moisture(apple, oranges, etc.).

Thanks. I will try my hardest to get them to a decent size. I decided that I will wait to feed my crickets to my dragons until they are actually done breeding. I have a few tanks I can seperate the adult crickets from the new borns so I shouldnt have any problem. I will let you know how it goes though sterling

When I had an anole I considered it. But shouldn't be too hard. I had some bricks stacked up and some crickets got loose. They bred like crazy in those bricks. This was in my iguana enclosure so I had to work like crazy to get rid of them.

Ive got some substrate in the cage and several egg cartons plus I have it around 88 degrees in their cage. The instructions on the breeding kit stated different than what I have. They said to use the little tiny box but I put them in a Aquarium and bouht twice as many crickets because I need more than what the little box can produce. They say to move the crickets to a larger aquarium after they are born.

I have bread crickets once. When they are born they are super small so they can climb out of lots of things, expecially an aquarium. A rubbermade container is a lot better that way they can't be out around your house everywhere (cricks can climb up silicone like no tomorrow) Also make sure it doesn't get tooo moist or they will start to die and then it will stink really bad. I bread them by accident but was willing to try and raise them until it got too moist and they died. Everything for the most part has to be perfect  So good luck, if you look up some other peoples suggestions on google then you can pretty much see what is true for breeding and what isn't. Good luck! And make sure you tell us how it goes |
