I have one tank full of hatchling crickets, and another full of feeders (medium-sized ones that I feed to my dragon). Some of my feeders have grown into adults and I'd like to keep them for breeding. Can I safely put them in the hatchling tank? Or will they kill the babies? I'm limited on space and money, so simply buying another tank isn't a good option.

I haven't bred crickets but I've kept different sizes together without much problem. They do tend to get kind of vicious but I'd imagine if there is plenty of fresh food and water for them they won't be as likely to turn against eachother.

Thanks Cooper. I put them in together a few days ago and they are doing just fine.

Off-topic: I see one of your dragons passed away recently... I am sorry for your loss.

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
