Don’t use spicy or flavored breadcrumbs. Plain breadcrumbs are best for catching crickets, and extra ingredients might deter them. You can mix up a big batch of sugar and breadcrumbs and store whatever is left over in a jar for later use. This way you can catch more crickets every few days.
There are special containers you can use for storing live crickets. Visit a bait store to check out their options, or look online and order one. You can sprinkle some of the sugar and bread mixture in the jar to keep the crickets fed.
