Warmth. Darkness. Oranges. Keep the temps at 90+ and feed them oranges, carrots, kale, bugburger, etc and they'll be popping soon!

Sweetness! I'll b going shopping tomorow for supplies..what's bugburger tho?

 

[maxttu]

It's a Repashy product. It's a gutload that you add water to, boil and let set as a gel/tofu. Bugs love this chit! Very good gutload. Check out some of our sponsors. A few of them carry it.

They grow very slowly! Unless I'm doing something wrong, I've had 3 months of 5 girls, couple of boys, and loads of WOODLICE.

Is it too cold in their cage? Everyone I've ever talked to or heard say they grow and reproduce pretty quick. But they gota be warm..once I get a few months of keeping them under my belt I'll def keep everyone updated and I'll take a pic of my setup of them once I'm home from work

That's sweet! I'm getting a heating pad today to up their temp to 90 because its only about 75 in their now, I'm stoked for roach babies!! My cricket breeding experiment went good and they've layed tons of eggs so now I'll see if they hatch, keeping them warm and damp so keepin my fingers crossed for pinheads as well
