hello,
so my female jacksons just gave birth to 9 babies. first i put them in a fish tank until i made a new enclosure for them, i looked up some ideas on google and made one some what like the ones i saw, i used a plastic bin and cut the sides to put some wire welded fence, small ofcourse so they cant escape and also so the crickets wont escape, when i first made this enclosure i didnt put any soil or live plants i just bought some fake plants from a pet store but when i would spray them the water, it had no way to drain out and there would be too much water in there and didnt want them to fall and drawn so i sorta maid a little garden and planted 4 plants for them to climb. i covered the hole bottom with potting soil so there no plastic bottom no more, i do have one question though, can i still just let the grickets free rang all over the cage? will they still be able to find the crickets with the new arangments i did to it?
i would apreciate any feed back or opinions about how i could feed them crickets or anything about my new enclosure

That looks like an idea I may have to emulate shortly since it looks like a Jackson female I just bought looks to be gravid. Thanks for the great idea.:D
 
thanks guys, there is some good ideas on google if you want to make your own cage. whats your opinion about feeding them crickets? just let them loose and let the babies find them?
