Re: Advice with GRASS PLZ!
Its probably an issue with either lighting or nutrients or both. Is there UV lighting in the enclosure? Also If I remember correctly miracle grow is non toxic for them another great option for fertilizer is turtle water. Its very high in nitrates. I use it on the plants in my terrariums and they grow like crazy (with assistance of UVB lighting). alternatively you could always lay down a roll of sod...

Re: Advice with GRASS PLZ!
I believe that plants grow better in blue colored light, perhaps you could add a fluorescent tube that has more of a blue color? I wouldn't pull put the UV light as I assume it is there to benefit the animal.

If they are pet store crickets or field crickets they'll probably breed in there, they did in my monitor enclosure and that's a barren wasteland.

They are wild crickets I caught in order to diversify the landscape.

Re: Advice with GRASS PLZ!
Looks good, grass starts off growing like that, it reproduces by putting out more shoots and will eventually make the floor a carpet situation.

Really? I really hope so. I was worried that it wouldn't get strong ��
