im setting up a enviroment for crickets for my school project. can i have details on diet and enviroment

They need a water source they can not drown in (a wet sponge works well, or cricket gel (sold at stores)

They need places to hide- crumpled up newspaper or egg cartons works well.

Diet- do not give them milk- it will spoil. Never heard of anyone giving them milk.

I feed mine dog food mixed with veggies. Truthfully, they will eat about anything.

There is protein & calicum in most foods, so it is hard to test that.

You could give one a diet of just dog (or cat) food. & the other ones a diet of just veggies. You would also need a control of crickets that get dog food & veggies to compare them to.

Also- make sure ur top is secure- crickets get out pretty easily

Have fun!
