[QUOTE="Tortoise Tom, post: 155702, member: 27883"] This is not correct. The temperature determines how quickly they hatch and reach maturity, but its usually a few weeks. Then, they can live another 90 days as adults. Crickets are known to all drop dead for no reason. Years ago it was said there was a "virus" killing them all off. Don't know if that was true or not, but they have a habit of dying, and everyone knows it. I stopped keeping insectivores for years because of my dislike of crickets. The noise, the escapees, the stink, the ability to damage your animals if left over night, and of course, the mass die-offs. Roaches are better in every way. No noise, no stink, no escapees colonizing your house, more nutritious, easy to breed, easy to feed, safe for your pets, long lifespan, more nutritious, and no mass die-offs for no damn reason. Make the switch. You'll be glad you did. [/QUOTE]
