Weird - albino cricket !

Awesome Lynn = )

You know, I've never been so interested in a cricket in my entire life - they're usually so annoying to keep that I want to punch things.

Now, if ony he was able to produce silent/non-smelly offspring too. Sweet mother of God... that would be fantastic.

If you are feeling super ambitious, you could make a breeding bin for just him and a few choice females. This would help to eliminate competition from other males and you could truly ID his own offspring, or even hold them back and breed them together to see if anything recessive pops up!

Hi Jeff,

Well here is this same cricket a few minutes ago ( 2/17- 5:45 pm est). Looking much darker ?
Not normal- but darker.





I'm still willing to make a separate breeding bin?
What do you think? I suppose he could have simply have had a shedding issue?

Note: I have not purchased 'new' adult crickets for quite some time. This breeding bin I recently made is from offspring (of mine) going on the 4th round. It is however, offspring from batches of 1000's of pinheads. Prolific little buggers ! Just a thought ?

As far as producing "non-smelly off spring'. Ha!
Unlikely ! You could clean them more often though.
It works wonders. lol
