hi,
i just set up my breeding tank for crickets i put 40 in there so hopefully if goes well....but i have a question i put the soil in little cups with screen over them and im not sure if maybe i pushed the soil down to hard....i packed it down- not super hard but a little hard- and on of my females has already started laying eggs but she seems to be having a hard time in some spots to get her (thing that lays the eggs) into the soil. then she moves and finds a diffrent spot and then lays some there and so on...is this beacuse i packed the soil to hard ...and if i did will it make it hard for the babys to get out when they hatch??????
and if it is to hard should i try moving it around with like a tooth pick to loosen it up?? or just leave it???
thanks
