1st cricket breeding tragedy

[chipop]

finaly had little pin heads about 3 days ago after attempting it about 10 times and last night decided to rain while i was a sleep and all drowned

wow, that really sucks i sorry!

 

[Hoj]

Ahh thats to bad, practice makes perfect

 

[chipop]

i want to keep them in the house but my parents would kill me D:

 

[Hoj]

Maybe build a bin to put the whole breeding setup in, with a roof to keep them safe from the rain.

 

[chipop]

im low on money to make the set up right now... just paid off my dentist

 

[Hoj]

Look around for some scrap wood and other materials. Construction sites are good, just ask the head contractor if they have a scap pile or bin.

 

[chipop]

i never knew they would give it away thx i always thought they recycle or re use it

I also hear restaurants and pet stores give away bins/buckets they are about to toss anyway. That's how I snagged mine actually.


I got a roach colony in my room right now, that my mom has no idea about...


So I know the feeling.

 

[chipop]

no way am i keeping them in my room either XD smells bad my room is always kept closed so no vent XD i do have a window but its been rainy lately

Crickets do tend to smell terrible, which is why I'm doing Dubias. Can't stand dealing with the 30 adult crickets I buy at a time, let alone hundreds.
