So i wanted to know how you guys keep your cricket colony? Dubias are not an option for me, and i have a super worm colony, but i wanted a cricket one as well. i may end up selling my super worm colony, or giving it to my friend for her beardie.
They will be in a large purple plastic bin (like one used for storage) in my closet. (i dont use the closet for anything) i have a heat mat for under the bin, some flukers calcium water crystals, and calcium cricket diet. ( i went all calcium because keyori is having some calcium issues right now).i have been saving up paper towel rolls, so i have quite a few of them (like 30) and some egg crates.
do you guys use substrate? i was going to keep them on the bare plastic floor.
do they stink that bad? i had about 1000 a while back and they never stunk. but i wasnt breeding them.
how do you guys handle the eggs and babies? i was going to have a tup-a-ware container in there with some non toxic soil for the eggs, and switch it out and into a seperate 10gallon after 3 days of egg laying.
