I have no idea if this will work but I've never seen nor heard of this! I know using wet cotton balls is a cheap way of giving them food but never would have imagined they would lay eggs in them!!

Anyone have any idea what might happen??

Video is for those who want to see for themselves what I'm talking about!

Interesting idea. I'm not sure what will happen but it's probably worth a shot =)

People here provide their adult crickets with reconstituted coir peet to lay eggs in.

You will need damp peat moss for the crickets to lay their eggs in.It also has to be chemical and fertilizer free. .Squeeze out all the excess water and place it into chinese containers. Place them in with your adult cricket and leave overnight.

Check them the next day and if its drying out give it a spray and leave in another night. Leave them in 2 nights in a row so they can pump out all their eggs.Then give them a 3 day break to let them build up more eggs and put fresh peat moss containers back in.

Eggs will look like little thin grains of rice that are easily seen through the side of the container.

Carrot is probably the safest way of keeping crickets hydrated, the eat it, so it hydrates them and helps to gut load them too.
