I have a 24 X15x12 inch glass fish tank, It's going spare at the moment.

Could I breed Black field Crickets In it?

I'm not bothered about breeding loads just enough to save a few £££ each year and give me the choice of Size i require. I could then change my standing order to a bulk half bag of standards insteed of the 3 sizes i get now.

I'm not sure if you now this but in europe there is a virus that has killed off most of the Brown house Crickets. We are now getting supplied with tropical house crickets (banded house crickets is another name for them) as these are not effected by the virus.

IT's just a though, I'll also have a look online for some cricket breeding websites, If you now of any please let me know.

Thanks
