However I would suggest this. Get a plastic storage container with a lid. Drill 1/16" holes in the lid for air circulation. Place egg crate inside for the crickets. The feed can be just about any pet food on the market. I use the same stuff I feed my dog. I put it in a plastic bag and crush it down, the place it in a jar lid. There are a few different ways to water them. Place potato, apple or carrot slices in the tub, use commercial cricket gel that both feeds and waters, or the way I do it, which is putting cotton, cloth, pretty much anything that will absorb the water in a dish. then just keep the material waterlogged. This waters the insects without giving them a pool to drown in. If you are going to breed, then a heating pad is a good option. I put my breeding colony box together for about 20.00. Hope this helps.
