bought a few crickets friday and when i went to feed my slings yesterday i caught two of them having what i think might be cricket SEX!!!!!
how can you tell the sex of a cricket??
i notice all of them have those two little spikes sticking out on either side of their rears....but some of them have another spike in the middle.....which one is male and which one is female??
the two i saw were like on top of each other and the smaller one on bottom did this little rubbing motion up against the bigger one on top (i think the big one on top had the middle spike and the smaller one on bottom had no middle spike).....was this sex??
i wonder if i should pull the female out and try to start me a cricket farm!?!?!
will they breed and thrive if i put them in a bucket outside with some vermiculite and didnt try to protect them from the temperatures??
i dont want those nasty stinky things inside!!
