Cricket Egg Substrate

[gratefulj]

What is the ideal substrate to use to allow crickets to lay eggs in?

My crickets are doing great with peat moss!

for the egg laying substrate? do you ever have problems with mold?

Yepp, just keep it moist. Not soggy, and no problems with mold. I use fresh moss after every generation.

I used compacted organic soil and it works very well I tried the peat moss and other loose substrates and you could actually catch the males hunting the eggs out of it
