Hi all,
Well Miso has recently become less of a fusspot when it comes to her food. Previously she would only eat dubias but now she's started to eat crix /wallet does happydance.
I cant breed the crickets, but I can buy in bulk.
Anyway Im trying to keep them alive as long as possible which I seem to be struggling with.
At the moment I have around 200 in an extra large cricket keeper. It has ventilation and feeding tubes.
I have two stacks of egg crates inside for them to hide in,
A plastic lid with their food on (currently oats, bran and rocket leaves)
A dish with a constant supply of cricket gelwater.
I do not have anything as substrate for them.
The cricket keeper is ontop of Rubens viv towards the back. This provides them with warmth and I kept my dubia's like this for months without an issues.
But after only a day of use I opened the keeper up to change their food and water to find about 20 dead crickets.
Is this their normal lifespan or am I doing something wrong?
HALP!
Im open to any suggestions ^_^
Thanks!
Holly
