FINALLY......BABIES..but what to feed?

[little leaf]

do i feed them the same as the adult crix get? I got carried away, and left the egg tub in w/ about 600 cirx for a week- BOY DO I HAVE BABIES - lol ( I even put the screen over it so the males could not eat any of the eggs, there is almost as much white (eggs) as dirt - lol) and they are still hatching like mad

Pardon me young lady but aren't you the same poster who was lamenting the fact you had only raised dirt? Now you have baby crickets and still you aren't happy. Sorry Cheryl but you know I had to do this. talk to you in a bit.

You feed them the same as adults crickets. I always have water crystals, a green, another veggie, and some dry cricket food (Rapashy Bug Burger). Works like a charm.

Congrats!

Haha, you've got it made now, as long as they have food they'll live Keep them just like the adults and they'll grow very fast. Keep them a bit cooler if you want to slow them down, all those tiny mouths can eat a surprisingly large amount

Lol I thought you were just raising plain dirt

I'm glad it worked for you finally!! Now you need a baby to eat them up or you could send them all to me
