Looking for camel crickets

Alan,

I caught some camel crickets this past week here in MN. Any thoughts on how to culture them? They were under the bark of a standing dead tree (I was looking for Parcoblatta)

Here is a set of pics on bugguide: http://bugguide.net/node/view/1086523
You can house them in a large tub (preferably 5 gal +) with 4~5 in of substrate and lots of hiding places. Care is pretty much the same as roaches :)

How is their climbing potential? Also, any advice for ovipositioning? I have a good number of them in a parm. cheese jar right now... they will get a bigger enclosure this week. I hope they don't eat each other before then.

PM me if these are anything you're interested in for your collection. They don't look like the species you posted as being interested in... they are smaller and less exciting.
