Hhmmmmm...no crickets

[Rottsko]

I've had my cricket eggs in incubation for 9 days now and still no crickets. I have it around a steady 87 degrees. I mist it every couple of days. How long does it usually take?

16 days or so is when mine pop out..keep the soil or egg medium wet (not soggy, but wet) and you will see the flea-crickets soon (they literally look like fleas jumping around)..

Geez. That's a lot longer than I thought. I'll keep incubating and waiting.

Mine started popping out after 13 days. I mist twice a day.

So my eggs in the incubator are hatching. I noticed a slight problem with the laying bin in the crix bin. I over sprayed it and it was soaked. Looked like it had a nice puddle at the bottom and it was mush. So I added more material and dumped out the excess water. Think it'll be ok?

I over sprayed mine but they hatched regardless.

Mine hatch right at 10 days with a room temp at 90-93*. I only spray if the top of the bedding gets dry (maybe only once or twice the whole incubation time)

Ok. I'll incubate these too and I'll hope for the best. It was soaked and flooded when I noticed it last night.

I would flood mine because I didn't think they were staying moist. It's my first time breeding but I have babies!

Nice. It's my first time too. The laying bin in the incubator is hatching now. The laying in the cricket bin was flooded. I was afraid I ruined the eggs.

Keep waiting, I gave up on mine, and when I went to throw away the incubation media about a week after giving up, there were THOUSANDS, and I had the lid on for about 10-20 days. They'll hatch, trust me ;-)

That is hilarious. Haha!
