rubbermaid container
box of crickets
cut holes and cover with wire mesh for vents
container with moist vermiculite
egg cartons for cricks to hide in
after about 5 days put the container in another tank at about 80 degrees
wait for hatchlings
easy right

yeah keep em moist not wet spray the papertowel or whatever you got down but make sure theres no standing water not even droplets because the little buggers are stunned and theyll drown in a droplet of water and keep them warm 80 deg yeah so warm and moist and that should do it
