That's great! Best in Food

It doesn't look like it has everything you need, but it's not true that it is all there is You need to buy more, it's optional, there's a bulb to control the temperature and baby the eggs, but if you're only concerned with keeping them to feed your reptile, buy it simple and a large plastic box and be happy! Were all instructions and specifications.

Pros
  • ALMOST EVERYTHING YOU NEED: For raising live crickets, cockroaches, mealworms, waxworms to feed frogs, reptiles or other pets. Are you building a cricket colony for your bearded dragon or leopard gecko? Use our starter kit to whip up fast food snacks for your pet's habitat
Cons
  • Incredible Piggy Bank

Great for starting your colony instead of going to the pet store every week

So far so good, I've set everything up and the instructions are quite informative and helpful. I found the ideal size for this kit to be a 53 liter plastic canister. Turning it into the perfect home for your crickets is pretty easy. I bought 1000 crickets from Josh's frogs and they do very well with supplies! Revain also has a variety of plastic containers that are very cheap and make great food for most live bugs. It was cheaper to get all the parts in this set than to buy each individually so

Pros
  • LIVE Cricket Food: 1/2 lb (8 oz) high protein cricket food with oats is ideal for a cricket hatchery. Soil and soil container for female house crickets to lay eggs with vermiculite to absorb urine and faeces. Aerosol can to keep cricket camps moist
Cons
  • Interchangeable

It's infested with cockroaches - BEWARE - it's infested.

This is a NIGHTMARE! I only got this kit because I thought it would be nice to breed crickets instead of going to the pet store every two weeks. The kit arrived and I unpacked it on my dining table. FIRST BAD MISTAKE. Cockroaches live in this thing and now they are roaming my house. I HAVE NEVER PERSONALLY SEEN A TRAKAN IN MY LIFE. I fell asleep and it was on my pillow. Then it went against the wall and I was finally able to grab it. I put the cockroach in the bag. I took the whole cricket kit…

Pros
  • EGG PLATES: 5 pieces (12" x 12") per set. They can be placed in a plastic container or aquarium to create the perfect cricket habitat. Egg tiles can be placed on their feet or placed horizontally, alternate each level, or flip them to give the crickets enough space. Disposable for easy cleaning
Cons
  • Slightly torn
