I'm not looking to feed out the adult crickets. I want the adult crickets to breed so I can get the pinhead crickets to feed out to my thumbs & pums. So, initially I need crickets of breeding age.

I am getting 50-60 adult crickets at a time now from a local pet store. I have a set up that works well for that small a number but I'm not getting enough pinhead crickets to feed out to all my tanks. I was thinking of cranking up the numbers on the adults.
