Good for you bilbo! Have fun!
I guess thats what one gets for taking the time to type a well intended reply. Just go and do whatever the fuck you want to do with your ants, you have truly proven you know what you have bought and what you are doing by posting like a hundret questions over the last weeks. I will have fun reading your next questions on these boards, i guess it wont be a long time waiting. German boards are full of people who thought they knew how to manage polyrhachis dives, knowing everything better, not taking hints. After a few month most of them gave away or lost their colony.
I know a place that sells crickets bulk buy.. like 400-600 large crickets in a bag.. All you need then is a tank.. with some egg cartons and a pot or two of sand for them to lay eggs in.. ohh and of course a place for them to feed.. crickets are fairly easy to breed i do it myself.. but usualy not with large ones.. but im guessing as you have such a large colony you would need to start large.. or perhaps buy 2 bags.. one large and one medium :) If you want the site send me a pm.. not sure they deliver outside UK tho :)
I have found that if you email the cricket shops before ordering they will put heat packs in with your order. The cost might vary between shops though.
Also if u keep heatmat on crickets they grow and breed faster just have more then 1 basin so once one finished u can use the other and keep swapping but with amount u using u might want 5
I like your setup donbilbo, nice to think ahead. Its really nice when the farms have much plants and stuff, looks very nice but so hard to clean up. When colonies are bigger they have also a lot of garbage so if you use a lot of plants it is hard to clean up, do not let that hold you back, if you don't have problems with that its fine. Like is said, i like those setups with lots of plants and stuff. ;)
Thanks for the input, i guess i will try breeding crickets now. ;)
i use plastic see through boxes with plant mesh over top for air flow and i feed mine green beans very cheap.
id breed black crickets they need more space but are not as fast and dont really jump.
heat mat is a must for breeding in winter thoe unless ur house is a furnace
I tried to breed crickets ... it is good , but It was better economicaly buy it in animal shop as to breed them myself in home. You know their price in shop is always smaller (when you have good shop) , here one cricket cost cca 10 cents and they´re buying them from "cricket keepers" for ca 2 cents/one , so you can imagine how much they have to keep in home to sell it to shop for so small price ... keep them in thousands :)
simply: production of crickets was much smaller than i needed
Well i can get a bulk bag of mixed size and species of crickets, around 850 - 1250 in a bag for around €13.42 Not to bad huh :)
