ok, so 13 so far. I gave up after I got a hiss out of O. She does not hiss. She was just tired of the invasions. I don't hold her so she lets me know when she is done. Took forever to get them to climb on a twig to get out. I have them in a large 66 gallon tub. I have started the housing...
Well it happen this morning. Little O has been looking like a bag of marbles for a few months. Today she let the invasion begin.
So far, 8, but given her cage is really overgrown with plants, it could be more. She ate right up to yesterday.
So needless to say, I have to carry out plan...
I think my little Olivia is planning an alien invasion. She start out a few months ago a healthy weight. Now she looks like she is storing marbles.
I have been doing research on this subject. I have fruit fly cultures going and building a baby nursery.
I was going to start with two tubs...
I use this.

Thank you for your help. The cage will have two trays, one side to be easy to clean and help filter out the dying leaves and insects. It will then drain to a larger container where I don't have to worry about the outflow clogging. i know it is over kill, but that is why I am building it.

Wood chips
Short answer no.
Long answer no-ish.
Almost every type of wood will have natural chemicals that are harmful for insects. Cedar, cypress, pine, fir, and other strong smelling chips are a hard no. Rule of thumb if you can smell the chip, then it is bad. The rest of the wood you would...
I know this has been asked before but I can not find it. Does anyone know the real dimensions of the reptibreeze tray 24x24?

I got these on backorder and would love to finish the cage. I am assuming they are...
About 1/3 of the population has it. Wearing gloves and mask and doing all maintenance in open air will reduce effects. Remember like all allergies it can get better, get worst, or the same. Wearing gloves and masks just reduces the risks.
If you ignore them, like I did, you can develop and...
One warning for everyone. Not joking wear a mask and gloves when dealing with roaches. About 1/3 of the population can develop allergies. I did now I can not get with in 10 feet of the with out my lung locking up.
Only if you allow them to get a large numbers and no other food. I would not have a colony with out them and I would never get rid of them. They eat the dead roaches which reduces moisture which causes colony collapse. If they get too hungry they will eat the same food as the roaches. They are...
In my case, vermiculite cut down on the smell considerably. Not by a little, but a huge amount. You need to focus on the final cost per cricket and not cost of each part. Shipping to the store is part of the price you are paying.
Banded crickets like at Ghann will last with proper feeding...
