I have a few questions about breeding local (southern ontario) grasshopper and feild cricket species.
1. I was wondering if they need a cooling period for the eggs to hatch or to trick the females into laying their eggs.
2. If they do need a cooling period, would it have to be as long as a normal Canadian winter or could I throw the eggs in the fridge for a week or two?
3. Does anyone have any other ideas of things that I could catch and breed for feeders in Southern Ontario? Even if they are somewhat of a challenge, I don't really mind. Sometimes I feel that the feeders are more interesting then the animals I'm feeding them to.
any and all responses would be appriciated. Thanks
