I saw an episode of Dirty Jobs where Mike's job was a Cricket Farmer @ www.ghann.com/ . The Breeders' setup is unbelievable and the amount of crickets they breed even more! And the cherry on top is the packaging they sell the crickets in(complete with special food/water source)...

They even sell the cricket excrement as furtiliser! And its apparently one of the best furtilisers available on the U.S. Market.

I would like to know how the setups of the SA feeder breeders compare to the setup @ Ghann's Cricket Farm!e

If you can not convince them, then confuse them!

Well one thing I know is cricket breeders here are so secretive about the way they breed there crickets.
It is Top secret, need to know!

They don't even share information, when I first started in the hobby, I asked a cricket breeder for some help on breeding crickets, he said I must go use the internet there is plenty information on there.

But I think the breeders in SA are on par with the Americans, Cricket for Africa is also selling the box you are talking about.

A while back a pathogens or virus swept through a few cricket breeding facilities killing all the crickets that was being bred.

thank goodness cockroaches are able to survive a nuclear bomb explosion but colonies could also be wiped out by a pathogen.
