raising bugs

[fishyjessie]

my turtle eats about 7 crickets a day, it would make sence to breed the bugs myself. does anyone have any ideas how to go about this? I have the fancy cricket home and the food/water jells. what should come next???

A few things you'll need is a relatively deep container they can't hop out of easily, several inches of substrate for them to bury their eggs in, and something for them to climb on/hide in. :0) Hope this helps!

How does your turtle catch the bugs??

i drop the crickets in the water and he catches them from underneath. it is a deep tank, 20 gallons with a shelf.
