How to breed crickets

Items used : 1. At least an 5 gallon tank and an small tank.
                   2. Newspaper as substrate.
                   3. A small cup filled with substrate such as coconut husk, peatmoss, potting soil                     
                      etc.
                   4. Food for your crickets. I use mixture of oat, tortoise pellets, fish food and mealworm.
                       I use lettuce for moisture.
                   5. RM1 worth of adult crickets. Adult crickets have fully develop wings.
                       Female crickets have an needle like looking sex organ ( Ovipositor )
                       Male don't have it.

How to breed : 1. Setup the tank and use newspaper as substrate.

                      2. Put a cap and fill it with food.

                      3. House your adult crickets there.

                      4. Cut few pieces of lettuce and give it to them.

                      5. Now, put the small cup filled with substrate into the tank. The substrate must be
                          damp all the time.

                      6. Wait a few days then remove the cup (2-10 days)

                      7. Isolate the cup into an small tank ( no substrate )  - WHY? read 10.

                      8. The eggs will take about 2-3 weeks to hatch.

                      9. After hatching, the pinheads will come out from the cup

                      10. So.. it's easy to remove the pinheads into a bigger container.

                           Or you can skip step 7. and just put the cup with egg into an bigger container
                          but you will face a few problem such as.. you may knock the tank and the   
                          substrate will spill out, making the tank dirty.
