I've had my little cricket since January. I think he's (she?) is just an amazing little critter but I never see the thing. About once a week I dig him out to make sure he's still alive and to check the moisture of the coco fiber. I've been trying to figure out the best moisture for this species but I haven't been able to find information saying how wet to keep them. I assume we don't want him to be swimming in mud, but that's about it. What is the proper set up for these silly things?
My current setup is a 6qt plastic tub with two inches of coco fiber (I'll be adding another inch today). I keep this just barely moist; enough to hold together but not so much that it's dripping. There is a thin cover of leaf litter. There are also a few isopods in the tank. I had hoped these would be seen as a food source but I haven't noticed if any are missing or not. I'll be counting them today.
What else should I be providing for this silly critter besides carrots and potatoes every so often? I'd really like to see him once in a while but as far as I can tell, he just picks a spot and hides. Then he moves to another spot and hides.
