I'm trying to breed some crickets. I've got about 50 in the tub, most of them are adult females and there are a couple adult males and 2 or 3 that are the same size but haven't developed wings yet. I hear them moving around and the males chirping at night. They've been adults for a couple of weeks now, and still no eggs?
This is my setup:

They've got a takeaway container filled with coir peat to lay in, an egg carton to hide in/climb, a wet cotton circle for water, and they get fed greens (mainly rocket and basil) and juvenile beardie pellets.
Am I doing something wrong, or are they just being stubborn?

I was going to take a quote from Gladiator and change from "camels" to "crickets" but I don't think that will go over well on this board ....

I THINK you need them to full grown adults to breed, so keep feeding them and keeping them happy and sooner or later they'll do what comes naturally.

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!
