How do you raise crickets?

[Lizard Lair]

I can get the beasties to hatch great, and can even keep them alive for a week or so. But what is the secret to get them to grow into nice fat feeders?

Low humidity and lots of food.... I used to raise crickets but they stink in large numbers...

Thanks! I think I was keeping them to humid. Do you think they do better on dry cricket gut load, or with fresh food?

Dry food at all times and you can add fresh vegies 1 to 2 times a week.... You should take all fresh food items out after a day to keep from getting mold...
