Joe,
I don't raise my own crickets but the guy from Nature Zone in Chico
California raises up small ones and purchases the larger ones because
it's more economical to do so. He also sells bulk containers of the
Total Bites which seems to be a good product.

Hey Gang -
I am helping my MS advisor set up a cricket colony for mass
production.
I seem to recall seeing pictures of someone's setup - probably a
kingsnake.com
vendor's webpage. It was a pretty big operation that could be
likened to a rodent
colony (e.g., racks of tubs).
He and some undergrads have the breeding down, they just need to
figure out the
organization so all the sizes aren't mixed, and then ramping up to
produce enough
to meet demand.
Also, anyone have a "home recipe" for those water blocks?
thanks,
Joe
