gryllus rearing
You will need to keep your gryllus in these containers or tanks. It is easiest to have at least two containers, one for growing gryllus and one for juvenile gryllus. Decide how many gryllus you need and buy the right size container.

When gryllus breed in a very tight space, they eat away at each other to make fewer rivals for their resources. This is obviously not what you want to see. So, be sure to buy a container that is big enough!
Buy a clean carrying case with a secure lid to keep gryllus. Usually choose a plastic storage box with a relatively high side. A 14-gallon (53-liter) container can hold groups of more than 500 gryllus with enough cardboard or egg-rack-shaped boxes for the crickets to crawl. The smooth surface of the carrying case can reduce the number of deserters.
