- dry dog food, cat food, rabbit pellets or chicken feed- ground up
- dry fish flakes
- bran
- wheat germ
- cornmeal

- lettuce
- apple slices
- carrot slices
3. In a separate part of the habitat, place another slightly larger cap. Place a cotton

Does a cricket chirp more when it is hot or cold?
The crickets does in fact chirp more in hotter weather than in cold weather.
Crickets chirp a lot when is hot. They chirp few when is cold.
Answer:
The relation between the crickets chirping and temperature is well known. Bearing in mind that crickets seem to be on the Fahrenheit scale:
- Count the number of chirps the cricket makes in 1 minute (60 seconds)
- Subtract 40 from this number.
- Divide the result by 4
- Add 50.
The result of this calculation is close to the temperature of the environment the cricket is in.
As an example, if the cricket chirps 120 times in one minute then the temperature is about 50 + (120 - 40)/4 = 70o F.

What is the difference between crickets and cicadas?
A grasshopper is active in the day and a cricket is active in the night.
Crickets and grasshoppers look similar, but there are differences. A big difference is that they belong to different families.
The grasshopper is an insect of the suborder Caelifera in the order Orthoptera.
Crickets, family Gryllidae, are insects somewhat related to grasshoppers and more closely related to katydids or bush crickets (family Tettigoniidae). They tend to be nocturnal and are often confused with grasshoppers because they have a similar body structure including jumping hind legs. The bugs of Caelifera usually have rather short antennae while Ensiferan Orthopterans have longer ones. This is a useful way to differentiate between the two suborders even if some Ensiferans like mole crickets have short, grasshopper- like antennae. Kingdom: Animalia

What is the relationship between the temperature and the cricket chirp?
Get a wee wee thermometer, and some lubricant. Gently, but firmly, grasp the cricket by the wings and gently, ever so gently, insert said thermomater into rectum. Do not let the cricket drop or leave. Readings will be red.
Alternatively.... use a human ear thermometer and gently impose upon its skull, being ever so gentle, so as not to kill the cricket/.
No, they make allot of noise but they are not harmful to people.
