Its extremely easy to breed your own crickets. Just get some male and female crickets at your local pet store- Put them in a tank with moist coconut-hair bedding (same used for most spiders and reptiles) and feed them moist cricket food and fresh potato slices. You'll have more crickets than you can handle in no time.

when i had my bearded dragon i bought huge tubs and put down the coconut hair. i also went and bought a case of 2000 crikets from my local pet store for 20 dollars and split them up and bred them that way. i have several thousand crickets before i knew that they had even bred so that is the best way to start out at least for me it was.
