I was successful at growing crickets for around a year, then they quit
breeding. Didn't seem to have a problem with them dying, just not
reproducing anymore. Had to make quite a few orders to Southern Crickets
this past year. Just can't figure out why mine don't reproduce anymore :(
One order came in and all was fine. A few days later I noticed what looked
like several dead crickets. Someone on my other mailing list suggested that
it may have been the shells of the crickets that looked like so many dead
ones. Seems like they don't do well in the cooler weather either.
