Rearing Containerclick an image to enlargeUse your browser's back button to return after viewing pictures This is a 12 quart "sweater box" container for rearing the crickets.
I place the nesting containers on top of my cage lights to keep warm. When I see the first hatchlings I place the nesting boxes in one of these containers to rear them to about 1/2 " size.
Inside view of rearing container; notice the water bottle, carrots, and egg crates.
Bird waterer/feeder with Velcro to keep it steady.

This is the whole REARING container set up. There are waxworm, and mealworm colonies in here as well. It is a seven drawer storage chest. the bottom 3 are deep (perfect for crickets) and the top 4 are shallow. of course you can use individual containers. I like this for convenience.
