BREEDING GRASSHOPPERS?

[lthrbecks]

I've been thinking about breeding my overgrown hoppers.

Ive already got a medium breeding box. I've also got several small faunariums. Can i breed the adults in the bigger tank and then remove the eggs in the sand container to the small box?

Just wondering, if i place a few extra sand pots for eggs will they all be utilised?

Yea you can move the lay boxes after 2 weeks or so to another enclosure to hatch. What species are you breeding?

Didn't know we had different species from our reptile suppliers ?
Theyre the most common ones, as in black and yellow.

They aren’t common at pet stores around here (us). Different species have different care requirements. But you can def breed them and separate the eggs. The species will tell you if they need a diapause or not.

I tried 2 different species with no luck, I'd like to hear how others fare on this, thanks in advance for any progress!!
