Crickets will crawl up and out on the wires and the sides of his setup.
Don’t have something like this in your house or you will have a serious
cricket infestation
I bought a thousand crickets and thought that I had given them the perfect
set up. They all died a week later. I have no Idea how to keep them alive.
Any tips?
A friend of mine decided to raise crickets last year and found out that the
hundreds and thousands of crickets really create a bad odor in his work
shop and so he let them go and that’s that-ha! Those dang things stink up a
place-seriously!
on the top 1/3 there is plastic on the sides – the wires are hanging off
bailing wire across the top i.e. the wires you see do not go into cricket
area. biggest problem I’ve had is spiders getting in the box and egg crates
and eating the babies – have to check and kill spiders often I agree NEVER
put the loud crickets in your house – in case a couple escape – I keep mine
in a storage building which works well in summer time without light bulbs
P.S. Put on glove to smash spiders
