Breeding crickets problems

I've decided to try and breed crickets, I have a pretty long plastic container with vermiculite as substrate and a lot of egg cartons on one side. There are 2 small containers with soil but I'm gonna change that to coco husk where the females can lay their eggs. I do not think any of the crickets are adult yet but im feeding them carrots, salad, and bell pepper. Im really wondering about the humidity and temperature as sites say different things so I don't know who to believe. Some say 70 - 75 Fahrenheit and some say 80 - 85 Fahrenheit and the same with humidity. One says 50% and one says keep it below 75%. I am currently using a heating pad under the plastic pin but not directly under it to heat it up and it is around 80 - 87 Fahrenheit. I just wanna know what is best with temperature and humidity and what works for you when you breed crickets.

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
