Pinhead crickets

I just hatched out thousands of day old pinhead crickets it was easy with all this warm weather. At least I can save a buck and make my baby chameleons and frogs happy.

Dusting pinheads, small amount of supplements in a plastic cup and let them crawl out. You have to be gentle or you will kill them.

Im still waiting for mine to hatch out. The first batch was succesfull but I only got maybe 1000 out of it. I have 17 new babies and more comming so I hope those things hurry up!!!!! I got a few dozen silkies in cocoons, dubia breeding, crickets laying eggs (I dont want to raise them to full. YUUUCK, just get pins out of my purchases), and i got 2 hornworms that grew into moths but both male. All these bugs are just as time consuming as my chams buck like you said anytime I can save a buck!

It is quite the task let me tell you. I am basically non stop from when I wake up in the morning at 6 untill I go to bed anywhere between 11 and 2 in the morning but its all worht it. Now that I am not in 3 bands it makes it easier LOL. I downgraded to being in the band with the serious guys and quit the others. I was fed up with slackers. We are just getting started so there is still tons of band time everyweek too.
