    Default Crickets dying

    Each day 3 or 4 Crickets keep dying on me, is there something wrong I'm doing?



    Cricket Twitching








    Breeding dish (Let me know if the dish is to small for them)

    Crickets just tend to die a lot. They are very fragile. Maybe someone else will have a better answer for you, but in my experience that's just what happens.

    Get roaches and never have a worry again

    it looks like the cricket wings are a little frayed. I think maybe the temp might be a little too high or maybe she damaged her wings while laying her eggs. i notice when crickets are too hot then they start to molt poorly and look sickly. I could be wrong though.
    on another note; some crickets just die. your setup looks way better than mine though. I need to get food bowls for mine

    I just use my Bearded dragon bowls or just a foam plate, and the only heat there is, is the heat pad under the tank which is not even hot.

    Crickets have a very short lifespan -- just a few weeks, so depending on how old yours are, it may be the case that you're doing nothing wrong...

    I have accidentally learned that crickets enjoy laying their eggs in moist coco fiber substrate near outer heat pads.
