Cricket breeding... stinky?

[beardo721]

Good evening all,
I was thinking of starting my own cricket colony in order to save money/breed for friends. The guy at my local reptile store told me it would be too stinky to effectively manage indoors (I'm in AZ, so it's too hot even in the garage). At any rate, is this accurate? Can't tell if he's trying to guarantee business or not. Please help me out! Thanks!

stinky? Well raising crickets is "stinky" so maybe he was referring to that. I breed my own crix for a while, no out of the ordinary "stinky"

Crickets smell bad, whether you're breeding them or not. They're messy and they eat their own babies, apparently.

crickets are stinky, but I wouldn't say too stinky. They're gonna breed if you want them to or not. It's just a matter of giving them a place to do it and incubating the eggs. I personally didn't have any luck, but if you want to go for it, why not?
