Hey all, just wondering what I should use for my crickets to lay eggs in? ANd how long does it take for them to hatch???

thanks,

short tupperware with a outer lip and a lid (cheap glad ware works well) filled with moist peat moss. crickets need 80 degrees or so to breed. hatching time depends on the temperature, about 1 week I would say at 80+. lower the temperature, hatching takes longer. keep soil moist while incubating, but not wet enough to make puddles the pinheads could drown in.
