So I've decided to try my hand at just a little cricket breeding, but I don't know much about it so bare with me. I have two tanks set up, and in the breeder tank, I have a dish of moist peat moss a few inches deep. It's been in there for about 36 hours, and I've seen plenty of eggs being laid. However, I just checked on it, and there was some mold growing on the surface. So questions:
1) Do I need to be concerned about the mold? Will it harm the crickets or the eggs? (I removed the mold but I'm sure it'll come back.)
2) How do I keep that from happening?
3) How long do I leave the container in there before taking it out? And when I do, do I immediately put the lid on it, with or without holes?
Thanks in advance for any help/constructive criticism.
