Crickets breeding in vivariarum

[pecka]

I put together what I think is a really great home for my 2 leopards. They both seem to be doing really well although one hides all the time the other one is out and about a lot. The environment seems to be so ecologically sound that the crickets have begun breeding right in the tank. At first I thought the tiny ones would just die off but they are growing and hopping around. The geckos don't seem to hunt them or even notice them but they are not taking over the tank either so maybe they are being eaten at night . I'm not sure if this is a good thing or not. I am going to not put any adult crickets in for a while and see what happens. What do you all think about this?

I think it's fine.

I'd just be careful you don't have too many in there. Crickets will bite geckos, so keep an eye on yours to make sure they aren't getting injured.

I keep a jar lid of gutload in the gecko enclosures where crickets are breeding so they have something besides the geckos to eat.

I have a bowl of the gut load in the tank. I read your article acpart. It was very interesting thank you. I love these little guys I am so glad I got them.
