The white stuff in my P. imperator tank that I thought was mould, was eggs.
So now I have hundreds of pinhead cricks. Can I feed them with fish food?

Don't feel like the Lone Ranger... I noticed the same thing in my emperor tank 2 days ago. Yes, you can feed fish food or dry dog food. They will make good food for scorplings ;)

Watch out with the waterdish coz pinheads tend to drown pretty often. I,ve had several female crickets laying eggs in my more humid tarantula tanks, and it's a pain in the a*s when the T can't eat em' and they all keep falling in the water.
Maybe you can put some small aquarium pebbles or something in the waterdish :)

They are no great swimmers. I have about 40 pinheads in a petbox. I think thats enough for a long time.
