The green mush is my own blend of fruits and vegies,the dry food also my own blend,what I find most interesting is that the female crickets by a large majority choose to lay eggs in the bin covered with screen. I have no facts to back up this statement but I think it is due to the screen and somehow they know the eggs are protected and choose that tub over the one that is not covered. I have seen this same pattern several times so I know it is not just by chance! Just thinking outloud(in text) but interesting don't you think?
