I have been buying crickets from a bait shop (100 for $4),  but I want to buy in bulk from online.  I have a 10 gallon tank is that big enough for 1500 crickets?

thanks

Lucas

A ten gallon wouldn't be big enough for that many crickets. You would need something like a big plastic storage tub. Those tubs are usually under ten dollars. It is important to give crickets plenty of space or you will end up with a large number of dead ones.

500 would work, just put layers so they can get away from each other (egg cartons, paper towel rolls, rolled up news paper, etc.) Keep shallow water dish, they can't swim, I use vitamin gell instead. You can get food & supplies from cricket seller. I also use cheep 18" tall or so tubs, & you don't want to keep in your room, they stink after awhile, & keep them dry. Good luck
