I was cautioned about having a cricket colony because they are noisy and smelly and ........
Roomates nixed getting roaches however so I thought I would try crickets. It is fairly cool in our house so they are not really loud, but an interesting thing is their chirping picks up the pace every time the heater kicks on. It's pretty funny because its almost like a dial is being turned up. Anyway I dont know if it will work to grow my own because I dont give them the heat to grow quickly, but they keep just fine for me. They are in my bedroom and I have no prob sleeping. Also got some meal worms, she eats them, but they aren't as fun to watch her catch as crickets. They just dont move enough
