i was down to one cricket left last night so i thought i would throw it in for my rose hair to munch.......it was a fat (possibly gravid) female cricket.....of course my spider wasnt interested right away...must be an adult male thing.....
but i went back about 30 minutes later and the dang cricket had dug a pit next to the water dish and had its rear end firmly planted into the substrate.......i can only imagine one thing it might have been doing....
this morning there was no trace of cricket so i guess the spider must have ate it....but i fully expect to see some pinheads hatch out in there again sometime......what is the gestation time for cricket eggs? (so i know when to start looking closely at the substrate..those pinheads are hard to see on 100% verm)
