I really, I mean really want to do this

I couldn't get past the smell. Insect poop smells terrible. It reminds me of the rat lady I used to buy me feeder rats and crickets from. Just a smelly lady. Good luck in all you insect breeding adventures. I hope I read about you in Forbes Magazine for being the richest insect breeder in the world. You may not have any friends cause you'll stink, but who needs friends when you have more money than you know what to do with.

crickets stink,dubias have no smell.

mealworms just breed on their own,dubia too.
not much effort needed.

for the dubias,
just keep them warm and provide food.
no substrates the best.
wait a few months and you will have too many to handle!
you can get them CHEAP (a few dozen for just a few dollars) from local online dealers.
just check em out on any invertebrate forums.

I like breeding the easy ones, lol. Crickets are somewhat of a challenge, but was fun when I bred them awhile ago.

What would be best....rubbermaid tote from Walmart or my empty 55. It's all jacked and everything so can't be used for a fish tank anyways. Food....high protein cat or dog food right?

i know a guy that makes his living on selling super worms , crickets, and and other stuff like that i think he said he sells something like 25 million+ crickets a yr

ooohhhh....ahhhhhhh. How much do you know this guy, he have a website? Would love to ask some questions.

What smells is the poop and mostly is dead crickets or whatever decaying. Ever seen a dead cricket after a few days, their real squishy and just decay real bad!!!!
But thanks!!

I breed dubias. They basically do everything for you. Just feed and keep warm and they are breeding machines.

Don't ever bother breeding crickets. Unless you can breed them on a large scale it's really not worth it. And yes, they do stink bad.
