Two Questions?

[Millie11]

My first question is about my female, she is about 4-5monthes old and I am curious to when become sexually mature, and when she will need to lay eggs?

Also the next question is about my male, he is a picky eater. On average he eats about 4 to 5 crickets a day. He is about 2 1/2 3 months old. Any suggestions?

They mature at different rates, as early as about 6 months she will need a laying bin just in case. I want to breed my pair too, but she should be at least a year old.........it really takes the calcium out of them
The male is being picky, so offer variety (mine keeps changing his mind about crickets or locusts - I'm happy either way). I have some calciworms coming soon, because of how much he loved the waxworms.............

My guess would be since your male was used to roaches he may be holding out. Once he realizes they're not coming he'll probably get better. Or do you have a way to get some roaches?

That is a good idea sarah, I can't get roaches that I know of around here. Do you know any where good to get them

Do you have a local reptile store? Mine carry's them not to sure if many others carry them though. Or you can start your own colony, I'm sure someone on here in the classifieds could get you started.
