Hi, sorry if this is on the wrong section, I didn't know wether to put it there cos it's more chat relating to t, or other inverts.
Anyway, here some photos of my cricket setup, is it OK? The box is 21" X 13" X 7" with cross ventilation that I've taped paper towel over, and I have a scattering of substrate just a little that's bone dry. I had a much smaller box with open vents that got really wet, mite infeted and phorid flies, those tiny "digital ones"
My place is freezing so they're up against the radiator, they love it when it's on, and cram right up to it.
Is this setup ok? I only have like 5 spiders in total so I don't breed them, and get through them very slowly, 5-8 a week tops, I just buy tiny ones and let them grow. Should I keep the population lower? To discourage mites, infighting, damp etc
Sorry for going on, I love it! I spend ages watching them, can't figure out if they're social or not, in the wild i think they live alone. Some flying locusts are communal but I dunno, I should look it up really, the crix don't seem to mind, but they never interact really
No crickets??
They're all in the tubes by the radiator!!
And they go here to molt by the looks of it
Sweet!!!
What are your setups like??
