Great to haveyou!! Your quite an active new member, I like that!!
Each cricket can lay up to 100 eggs, so just a few will do. I've got quite a herd, of 600 to 1000----- oops!! And now trying to slow the next batch from hatching by keeping them in a cool spot(65) maybe this will slow hatch time down to 3 weeks. If u put the eggs on heating pad low, they hatch in days, so u can control it a little. U can make your own food from cat food ground up, directions on culturing crix article to left. And give them scraps every day, breeders should be fed extra vitamins, it increases egg production. Good luck!!
