The Complete Cricket Breeding Manual


Book Description

Low Maintenance Cricket Breeding is finally a Reality!! The number one reason 98% of people give up breeding crickets after a few months, is they choose the wrong breeding method. Most people use conventional methods which require constant spraying, feeding and cleaning….and simple give up as it’s too much effort. To make things worse, pests take over due to lack of maintenance and the whole system crashes. These methods are better suited commercial production…not feeding one or two bearded dragons. Our low maintenance systems are very different with automated feeding and water stations; a detritus collection system that does the maintenance for you; along with a number of other innovations… The result is smarter low maintenance, consistent and productive breeding methods for both private and commercial applications. The reality is that crickets can now be bred with less time than standing in line at your pet store. Now there is a true alternative which makes cricket breeding available to everyone!! WHY OUR METHODS ARE VERY DIFFERERENT After more than a decade of commercial production and experimentation, we have pioneered revolutionary techniques that have slashed maintenance, eliminated offensive odor and doubled production. How would you like automated systems that ; • Needs no active management; • Collects waste for you; • Requires only 5 minutes maintenance every 7-10 days (less time than standing in line at the pet store) • Food/ water dispensers that attends to your insects for 14 days or more; • Systems so productive that the average family will be able to feed 4-12 bearded dragons (depending of insect feeding rate) just from their scrap vegetables; • That’s over $1400 each year completely free…. good income for the family or teach your kids to build their own business. • Best of all they are easy to build, and materials are made from recycled materials or from your hardware. Breeding your own feeder insects has never been easier with the world’s most comprehensive and well researched feeder insects guides (with hundreds of photos), complementary Skype video training along with Email support. Our methods are also available on video at a click of a button. (full details on our website www.wildlifehub.com). HOW DO OUR SYSTEMS WORK... In a nut shell, we have created two separate zones within a single container (conventional techniques require up to 6 separate containers); one high humidity area ideal for breeding; and a lower humidity area for housing and food/water. We have also developed a unique detritus collection system which collects the waste and prevents contamination of breeding substrate and food areas. This makes cleaning a breeze, eliminates odor and disease, increases egg viability and increases cricket production. We have water/food dispersers which do the feeds for you, even when your on holidays! Unlike other methods which need to be actively managed (daily spraying, and moving pinheads to new containers) our systems run themselves ?. And our cockroach breeding systems are equally unique at reducing maintenance and smells (also available on Amazon). Now you can breed both species with ease. THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE GUIDES... This manual sets the benchmark for cricket production and contains more than 164 pages (240 color photos) that cover’s every aspect of private and commercial production in detail. That’s more than twice the size of any other book on the market. We have overhauled every aspect of cricket production including; container design, breeding, food and water requirements; making food and water dispensers; heating/storage; maintenance/pest management, cleaning; grading/selling, lots and lots more. COMMERCIAL PRODUCTION EXPERIENCE…Turn an Expense Into Income!! We have bred crickets and cockroaches commercially for 10 years to wildlife parks, zoos, pet stores, wildlife rescue clubs, and...

A Guide to Crickets of Australia


Book Description

Cricket song is a sound of the Australian bush. Even in cities, the rasping calls signify Australia’s remarkable cricket biodiversity. Crickets are notable for a variety of reasons. When their population booms, some of these species become agricultural pests and destroy crop pastures. Some introduced species are of biosecurity concern. Other crickets are important food sources for native birds, reptiles and mammals, as well as domestic pets. Soon you might even put them in your cake or stir-fry, as there is a rapidly growing industry for cricket products for human consumption. Featuring keys, distribution maps, illustrations and detailed colour photographs from CSIRO’s Australian National Insect Collection, A Guide to Crickets of Australia allows readers to reliably identify all 92 described genera and many species from the Grylloidea (true crickets) and Gryllotalpoidea (mole crickets and ant crickets) superfamilies. Not included are the Raspy Crickets (Gryllacrididae), King Crickets (Anostostomatidae) or the so-called ‘Pygmy Mole Crickets’ (Caelifera), which despite their common names are not related to true crickets. Natural history enthusiasts and professionals will find this an essential guide.
