This is the most minimal effort set up I have seen so far. Thank you! The watering container idea is awesome

Thanks mate this helps so much am so over buying crickets! Great information and you definitely know your insects!

@BeachesScalyBeasts 6 дней назад

Glad to have helped mate! I’m just firing my colonies back up ready for summer.

@busta87 4 месяца назад

I contemplated breeding crickets but it's tough to try anything else after I keep dubia roaches as they require so little effort to keep the colony going. So just buy the odd box of crickets here and there as a treat. Nice informative vid though never seen the water idea before either.

@BeachesScalyBeasts 4 месяца назад

I know what you mean. Roaches are very easy and thrive off nothing. I suppose it depends on how many animals you have and whether that warrants you giving it a crack. For me personally it was 100% worth while.

How good! You’re welcome!

@JayBay813 Месяц назад

Man I really thank you, soon I won’t have to order online anymore. With your set up I’ve keep alive 1000 1/8 and 3/8 crickets. I also had a batch hatch and I can keep the smalls!! The others will eventually get bigger but I need to figure out how to manage the bigger ones! I’ll probably just use a 40 gallon tub for the ones that get big! This rocks and I only check substrate 1 a week to make sure it’s wet for eggs! No constantly feeding and maintaining like my other feeders. I prob throw some clean up beetles in there as well.

Awesome video. The self-watering is really cool. I had dedicated a specific egg crate and was eye dropping water onto it to absorb into it but its been a very manual process so far. This is a great alternative.

@evankenison588 19 дней назад

Thank you for this video. Just what I've been looking for. The biggest complaint I've heard about raising crickets is they smell. Do you find your method doesn't smell?

@BeachesScalyBeasts 18 дней назад

Personally I don’t ever smell them so I’m not sure what others are talking about. To me, roaches stink a lot and I prefer the crickets. I’d assume that maybe the crickets are eating more greens and vegetables so maybe that’s contributing to smell with others systems.

@evankenison588 14 дней назад

@@BeachesScalyBeasts That makes a lot of since. Thank you for your videos. I love them!

@williamray-go5gc 3 месяца назад

i know this is very off topic but ive been wondering for ages and theres not really alot written about it but is safe to cohabitate gtb's from the same clutch because ive seen youve done it but not anyone else

@BeachesScalyBeasts 3 месяца назад

I took a punt and so far so good. Doesn’t mean it’s not Risky though. Gotta keep a close eye on things.

@jsav4269 Месяц назад

Awesome video man, I got a question, I’ve been producing 1000’s of crickets but they never get past the slightly larger than pinhead stage, they don’t die, they just never grow, I’ve had pinheads that are 2 months old and just never grow, they eat drink and no issues there, but they stay the same size forever….. wtf am I doing wrong? My reptile room stays between 73-77 degrees I’m at a complete loss

@BeachesScalyBeasts Месяц назад

Man I can’t really say I’ve had the same issue. Maybe it’s a good source that’s not the best? That’s me guessing without knowing more.

@Japh 4 месяца назад

One thing I wanted to ask... you only breed crickets and do you still breed woodies? Anything else you breed? Also, do you feed anything else to the crickets or gutload them before feeding them out? Thanks so much for this amazing resource!

@BeachesScalyBeasts 4 месяца назад

I at times breed mealworms as well but have kinda let my colony go atm. Will fire it back up towards the end of winter. The chicken pellet I use is packed with calcium for egg production in the chooks but other than that I might throw in some leafy greens or pumpkin or something the night before a feed out. Whatever I have on hand and if I feel like they need it.
