Just starting first batch 
well iam gonna give it a shot .i bought 100 and put some fresh dirt in there .now i no its recommended to take the dirt out of tank and put in it own after 24 to 48 hours and temps should stay about 80-85ish and soil needs to stay moist . but i do have a couple questions .1-about how long after they lay eggs does it take 4 them to hatch ?.2-how many crickets can i expect out of a batch of 100 ?(usually order by the 1000 but didn’t want 10000 at one time so was thinking 100 was plenty)..any other advice u may think may be help full plz post ..all comments appreciated .....thx all !!!!!!!!

well i pulled the dirt out looks like i got plenty of eggs now . i put it on a rock heater but ill have to wait to see if it reaches the correct temp .if not i have plenty of heat lamps and bulbs . if someone here could tell me when to expect them to hatch would be appreciated !!!!!! as i only have them in a Tupperware dish 4 now ,but plan on putting them in a 10 gal tank to hatch .hopefully iam doing this right

it usually takes about two weeks for the eggs to hatch.. the first two or three days after the eggs hatch is one of the worst times as far as mortality is concerned.. be sure to give them access to water, but via sponge or wet paper towel. crickets are pretty clumsy and utterly stupid with water, and if the adults are bad the babies are ten times worse. I don’t know the exact number you’ll get, but expect a lot. :P
Good luck!
