Considering the number of reptiles I now have, and the cost of feeding them, I decided to start my own cricket colony. So I went out and purchased 150 adult sized crickets, and a huge tub to keep them in. I also provided them with a lay box, some fresh veggies, a commercial cricket food, and water gels.
So first off, does it sound like i'm doing everything okay so far?
Second, are paper towels any better than water gels besides cost?
I've read that adding heat can increase growth/hatch rate. Is there truth to this?
Lastly, instead of seeing the females stick their 3rd prong in the dirt to lay their eggs, they've been tunneling head first down into the dirt. Is this normal(I haven't observed them too intently, but when i have i noticed many doing this)
