Catch a cricket outside, look on the internet to find what they look like if you don't know. Find one of any size that only two hairy protrusions in the back. This is a male. The female has an ovipositor which lays her eggs for her. Males sing and sound just like a canary. If you cricket does not sing at night, then let it go and get another one. They eat a potato slice for food, a little coke top full of water and paper towel. They love bread and vegetables.
Cleaning is a snap, they don't bite and they are not any problem to keep. You can buy them for ten cents at the local pet store, but I like to catch my own. Do not put two together, they will kill one another. Have fun!
