cricket eggs and baby crickets in tank with RETF

[mrzoggs]

funny... i tried breeding crickets for a few weeks and got nothing but fruit flies... :P


not sure of the breeding cycle of crickets, but you should be feeding your red eyes small crickets...And i didnt think they could breed. I would think they would have to be an adult to breed.

I second Grif and Heather. Dont leave crickets running around your red eyes. I would use a feeding bowl. Its simple and effective. PLENTY of plus sides to using a feeding bowl.

Dump the substrate with all the baby crickets into a tub, add some carrots and some dry baby cereal in a corner. Now you have a bunch of free crickets to raise and feed your frog! Put new cricket-less substrate in your frog tank, and you're done


...I mean, I guess you could kill all the baby crickets instead, but that seems wasteful to me :P I'm all about saving a dollar here and there when I can.

Thanks so much for all of the advice...
Newbie question alert! How do you get the crickets to stay in the feeding bowl??
