Stupid question...
A female cricket has approx 100 eggs to lay. At what point do they start to lay eggs?
About a April 1, I bought 1000 1/4" crickets at a retile show. About a week and a half ago, I took they last 40 and put them into an enclosure all set up with water gel, food and a tray of damp peat moss. The enclosure is about 80 degrees and they seem healthy.
I setup an incubator and got the temp stable at 85 degrees.
After a week, I took the tray of moss out of the enclosure and put it into the incubator. 4 days later there are no pin heads.
They still don't seem full grown, so I'm thinking they just aren't sexually mature yet.
