J cricket laid a egg?

[Conor10]

So today I was cleaning my J crickets enclosure and I found this small yellowish egg. The cricket itself has gotten skinnier so I am sure it came from it. What should I do? Should I keep the egg with the mother? If not then what should I put it in? I have kept over 20 of these and I have never seen this.

You can keep it with the parent but they might hurt each other so keep it in a small place with room temp and it will hatch

Ok thank you I just put it in the corner of the enclosure and I will let it be. Any idea how long it will take? Also, is it possible that she will lay some more?

Remove your egg, put it in a deli cup with moist substrate. These eggs are difficult to hatch and I know nothing on how to do it. If you leave it she will eat it no doubt about it. @mantisfan101 and @Arthroverts know more than I on this subject I would think.

Ok i put it in a little deli cup with a little bit of moist coco fiber.

I would actually refer you to @Hisserdude as he has done much more research on the subject and has paired Stenopelmatus before.

Thanks,

Now I found another one... can I keep them together until they hatch?

 

[Matts inverts]

Yes when they hatch, just make sure they have food so they don’t hurt each other

Remove the egg from the mother's enclosure asap, keep it on a layer of moist substrate, at the same temp the mother is being kept at (ideally around 75F°), and hope for the best. If you find other eggs, you can incubate them together, but as soon as they start hatching they'll need to be separated, these things are super protein hungry, cannibalistic and territorial, even as hatchlings, and can not be kept communally.
