Baby Crickets...

[NvC Dex]

Ok, So today while looking at my chams I noticed some little bugs crawling around the bottom of the enclosures... Upon a closer look... Turns out that they are baby crickets... So while the chams were hunting down the crickets, they manage to have time to pop some babies out... hahaha

Free crickets. I'm just waiting for that to happen. Gotta eventually.

Had a pair of prehensile tailed anoles in a cage...found out by accident that they were omnivores when I put food in the cage for the crickets and the anoles started eating it. Because I rained on one end of the cage to get the anoles to breed, the female crickets the anoles didn't eat, laid their eggs in the moist sand..and I had a constant supply of crickets in the cage for many years.

I did a similar thing with superworms in my turtle/tortoise cage.

Awesome! I tried breeding them intentionally awhile back. Didn't work that well. Free food yea

Well I am not sure how to get them out.. There's so many of them!!! There's a lot not pictured
I put one of my cricket cubes in there for them to eat on. Gotten a gut load them early.. Lol

Do you gutload the crickets with other things too? They aren't something I would use.

If it was my cage I would take out the orange cube and put in some greens and veggies. Your veiled might eat some of the veggies and greens. I'd worry if your chameleon ate the orange cube.

To get them out you could put a couple of toilet paper tubes in there or small pieces of egg carton that comes with the crickets. The babies should collect on them and you can lift them out and move them to a small plastic cricket keeper.
