How to keep crickets alive!

They will eggs in it and they will hatch in a week. Your adult crickets will most likely eat the pinheads if you leave them together. If you wanna raise them, better move the egg laying sight after a few days of the adults breeding in it

My current plan is to leave soil dish in there for a week, can't tell yet if there are eggs in there. I've been misting it to keep it damp. Are the eggs round or oblong? They should be down below surface anyway... but regardless, I'll be moving soil to another bin to "incubate" and put fresh soil in and then I'm just assuming the adults will die. They don't live all that long as adults, right? Looking forward to not hearing that chirping. Whatever babies I do manage to get out of this, will be eaten or set free before they mature. This is a one time thing for me.

The eggs are oblong slivers. A healthy female will lay around 100 eggs. They are easy to see if you let them lay in a clear tupperware container. If you ever keep darts of mantellas, it becomes a big part of your daily routine.

At a time?? Yikes. Maybe I should change container from plastic bowl to deli cup so I can see when and if eggs are laid.

All I have is a little toad, but she's not that little... they'll need to grow a bit for her. She'd go after little ones, but she'd probably eat them all at once.

*made transfer, added more dirt. no eggs that I saw. hooked them up with egg crate/paper tube ramps to get in there.
