Save my cricket babies

[kevinlowl]

My new batch of baby crickets have just started hatching anddddd I see mites... How do I remove all the mites and save my baby crickets? Should I cull the ones that have already hatched? My last batch got infested really bad and I had to cull them all. Mites were stuck all over the poor crickets' heads. God damn it I hate mites so much.

If you flood the enclosure with detergent you'll kill all the mites

Thanks, so no saving the cricket babies then? I'll just put the enclosure in the freezer. I'm too poor to waste detergent lol

I have no idea how to save crickets from mites. Don't freeze the enclosure just yet--I was totally kidding
