Cricket Eggs

In our years of cricket breeding we have discovered some good tips for caring for cricket eggs. First, you need to make sure you are using the right egg laying medium. The medium is where your crickets will be laying their eggs. We use a mix of vermiculite and pearlite. We mix about 50/50. Next we blend the mix. This helps make the granules smaller. Then we add a little water, and mix well. It should have just enough water to squeeze into a crumbly ball. But should not drip when squeezed. The proper egg laying medium is essential for healthy eggs. Our next article will discuss the pros and cons of using soil for your egg laying medium. Attention to detail can really make breeding crickets easy. Just the same, poor quality materials often results in poor numbers in baby crickets or the loss of you entire colony.
