[QUOTE="Pasodama, post: 115063, member: 16469"] Dubia roaches really are quite prolific.:) Have been breeding them for a handful of years. Recently, I decided on doing a half-a$$ed attempt at breeding crickets. Basically, just keeping their environment clean and I provided them with a container filled with soil, etc., (which I moisten periodically) to lay eggs in. Feed & water gel also provided of course. Well, as it turns out, I am having some success. Actually have baby crickets.:) A few years ago, I found that moist sphagnum moss also works for crickets to lay eggs in. Found this out quite by accident when I found these very tiny insects in a couple of my gecko enclosures. Freaked me out, at first, not knowing what these tiny invaders were. Upon closer inspection, I discovered that these very tiny insects were "newborn" crickets! Apparently a momma cricket, or two, had enough time to quickly lay their eggs, in the geckos' moist sphagnum moss, prior to their getting eaten by the geckos. LoL [/QUOTE]
