Why wont my crickets sing?
I started a cricket farm last weekend, they are to feed my birds. They live in an old fish tank approx 60cm high and 40cm wide, egg carton structure in the centre. Soil on the floor. They get carrot and apple to eat and water spray daily. I have been doing my best to keep them warm. I expected to hear singing - which means breeding - within a few days, but they still havnt started to sing. Theres about 50 crickets, mostly babies and only two really big ones. Are they too little to start breeding?

Yes, probably they're too young. Female crickets don't sing, it's possible that the two big ones are female. If so, you should be able to see their ovopositor.
