Hey,
i was trying to breed cirkets last week, so bought a dozen adult crikets and put them in, normal soil. 5 mins later i would see the females laying eggs every where!!!!, and i waited about a week i watered the soil a couple of times through the week. and today i was gonna water it again and then i see tiny white baby crikets, i thought it wouldnt work but it did!!! now i just have to raise them and do it again:), just wanted to tell a sucessful story on breeding crikets
congratulations! The babies are a little harder to keep alive, but I'm sure you can do it :D

hey
Alan:hmmmm if you are having an aqurium(for breeding)your gonna get your self in big trouble, i used a tank but when they hatch, they would all climb on the coners of the tank, where the glue is and escape, even if i have something over it! So watch out, cause alot of my criekts are lose!!!!, what cant criekts climb on anyone kno??? besides glass, do thye climb on plastic???
On the good side of the note, the criekts are doing fine, a lot havnt died yet, and they are all eating
i've heard running a line of vasaline around the top would stop them from climbing out
but not sure if it works or not hopefully someone else will know
congrats on your succsess
how long's it take for newborns to grow into pin heads and pin heads to adult
