i would not use one of them if i were u. so yes in my opion they are a waste of money because they have very little ventlation and mould and mite can be found very quickly.
but u could cut a hole it the side and glue some mesh in its place and then it could work.
hope this helps

crap ill have to find something else

[Ant mad]

yer that would be better even just a plastic tub would be better but that depends on what type of crickets you have.

[gabranth]

only a couple of brown ones at the moment they will be dead soon but im planning to get micro brown crickets but mites seem to love them

[Ant mad]

yer mite are always a problem when they are small idk y tho i keep the conditions the same but they still appear
if you have brown crickets make sure the sides of the tubs are tall because they can jump high but a simple net will stop that.

[gabranth]

or i might get black ones i haven't tried them yet

[Ant mad]

black ones r alot slower and cant jump as much as brown crickets but fight each other alot more over ground and there chirp is very loud, but they do have alot of protian in them.
if you want ones that r quite dont mind how many there are and not to slow but not too fast i would go for slient crickets and i find them easyer to breed than the others.

i use a 60litre tub and put water plant covering over top with a band and use silent black crickets and they seem fine they not fighting or anything and like to chirp alot. they are pretty loud thoe

[Ant mad]

[gabranth]

seems a bit small - ur best bet is wilkos a big tub as u can get space for be around a fiver and then plant mesh or something to cover top and let air in they cant climb the sides either well my black crickets can not and they seem very happy. just grab a little tub shove some holes in and soil inside wet for mating and another tiny tub for food saves it going in the bran

[gabranth]

actually i think i might try growing Dubia Cockroaches instead might be easier to breed and look after compared to crickets
