How to care for a good luck cricket?

[Jason Jezek]

I'm being serious here. How can I care for a good luck cricket? What kind of caging, and food, I am not going to feed it to anything, so do I have to feed it gutload? I am buying that water gell stuff, but I don't want to feed it gutload food. I have always wanted a good luck cricket, and I had one for like 4 days when I was like, 5, but it died, because I didn't know what they ate, to be honest, I don't think I even knew they HAD to eat.

Cardboard box with holes. Leaves. Water.

Aquarium or similar, leaves, water

No deal.

This is actually quite interesting, the rest of my post shall be serious!

Diet and life cycle
Crickets are omnivorous and feed on organic materials, as well as decaying plant material, fungi, and some seedling plants.

But.. you could get a crappy model of cricket, chuck it in the cage with the cool one as they're known to eat their own dead when there are no other sources of food available and they exhibit predatorial behavior upon weakened, crippled crickets. Apparently, crickets are popular as a live food source for spiders, so keep and eye out for those bastards.

Also, did you know there are about 900 species of crickets.
