Cricket diet?

Question

I am doing an experiment involving crickets to determine whether or not diet affects a cricket's chirping. I am planning on giving these corresponding combinations of cricket diet:
- High protein and high carbohydrate
- Low protein and low carbohydrate
- High protein and low carbohydrate
- High carbohydrate and low protein.

Would you know of foods that fall under those categories so that i could feed them to my crickets?

Also, would you be able to suggest a small cage/container that i could use to keep just one cricket? (i will be separating the male crickets in order to be able to differentiate their sound and so i will be needing at least 15 suitable cricket cages/containers)

Thank you for your help in advance!

Any methods of catching crickets anyone would like to share? I have been trying to catch crickets but so far no luck... They're either up in the trees-way out of reach- or they just suddenly shush themselves up whenever i get near them.

PS: Does anyone know any cricket dealers in the Philippines?

Answer 1

puppy food
active dog food
senior dog food
overweight dog food
(get sample bags, large pet stores have them)
Plastic containers with small hole punched through with a paper hole punch will work fine

Answer 2

To start out with should be able to get crickets at your local pet store feeder crickets but they will work. Then high protein and high carbohydrates feed them potatoes raw ( and crickets love this ) watch out cause the chirping will begin. Low protein and High Carbohydrates feed them bread regular white. Grass would be high in protein and low in carbs. ( don't know if it's good for them) Mushrooms low in carbs and low in protein

Answer 3

Answer 4

potato's and pasta

Answer 5
