I just use 58 quart sterilite tubs like in the pic. As long as they have food, water, and warmth they will breed. Start with 5 or 6 dozen from the pet shop. A small bowl of dirt provides the medium for them to lay eggs. Keep it moist and warm. Move the eggs to their own container within a week. If they hatch in the adults container they will be eaten. It’s very easy. Repticzones care sheets have several here Link or any number of other sites such as Link.

if you go to petco or petsmart you can look for a krikket keeper. you feed the crickets little cubes they sell for them (ask the petstore), or you can feed them carrots, lettuce, dry cat or dog food.for water use a sponge in a bowl or buy them little cubes called cricket quencher, also ask the pet store.

I use a ten gallon tank with egg cartons cricket gut load food and a water source. either Cotton in a jar lid or the jello water at the pet store. Give them a few bits of wet lettice every now and then. If you want to breed them just use the same set up and add a bowl or a sandwich plastic tub fill it with coconut fiber (you get it at the pet store as a substrate) moist it keep it damp and leave there for a few days. I can go on if you want to know more just let me know.
